AN END to US sanctions on Syria is expected to mark a new era for an economy devastated by 13 years of war, opening the way for investment flows from the Syrian diaspora, Turkey, and Gulf states that back the new government.

Investors eye Syria after deal

Business executives, Syria's finance minister, and analysts told Reuters they anticipated an influx of capital into the bankrupt economy once sanctions are lifted in line with President Donald Trump’s surprise announcement, notwithstanding the many challenges still facing the deeply-fractured nation.

Billionaire Syrian businessman Ghassan Aboud said he was making plans to invest, and expected other Syrians with international business ties to be doing the same.

“They were scared to come and work in Syria due to the sanctions risks ... This will completely disappear now,” said Aboud, who lives in the UAE.

“I'm of course planning to enter the market, for two reasons: I want to help the country recover in any way possible, and second, the ground is fertile: any seed planted today can result in a good profit margin,” he said, outlining a multi-billion dollar plan to boost Syrian art, culture and education.
