Sharia: Syria turns challenge into opportunity
President Ahmad Sheik confirmed that Syria has shifted from an security and political crisis to an economic and strategic opportunity that enhances the security of supply chains, energy, and trade between the East and West. He expects the Syrian economy to grow to approximately 50 billion dollars this year, compared to about 20 billion dollars in 2024. Sheik pointed out that the economic transition requires bold decisions, such as raising fuel prices, which have led to protests in some Syrian areas. He emphasized the importance of practical results and action over promises. Sheik affirmed that Syria seeks to build its relationships on credibility and independence, stating that it does not need to be subordinate to any party. He praised the role of Arab countries, especially Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Turkey, in supporting the Syrian economy after the lifting of sanctions. Despite this, popular protests have erupted in areas like Al-Hasakah in opposition to fuel price hikes, amid ongoing conflicts in the region. He stressed the importance of policy stability to complete the economic transition.
