[DAMASCUS] In recent weeks, reports of extensive Saudi investments, potentially the largest in over a decade, may indicate a transformation of Syria’s economic landscape. This move reflects a clear shift in economic relations between Riyadh and Damascus after years of stagnation, sanctions, and international restrictions.
This new direction, confirmed by official sources and cross-referenced media reports, comes within the framework of regional efforts to gradually reintegrate Syria with other Arab nations and open channels of economic cooperation that will support and revive its struggling economy.
