The Final Report of the TEVN Economic Forum 2022
The full report is available in Arabic
The economic situation in Syria is witnessing an unprecedented deterioration, as the COVID-19 pandemic has shown that no institution can tackle the economic, environmental, social and technological challenges on its own. The epidemic itself was not the main reason for the deterioration of economic conditions. The reasons are multiple and all of them are related to the conflict in Syria, where the conflict and the accompanying political polarization in Syria played a major role in undermining the economic foundations in north and east Syria, in addition to the imposed siege as a result of the lack of any Official crossings, especially after the closure of the Yarubiyah crossing, drought, climate change, and the absence of a long-term strategy played a major role in the economic deterioration. These and other factors led to a significant shortage and weakness in basic services such as electricity and water, in addition to an acute shortage of basic items such as bread and sugar.
