Syria today
An investment environment that is changing fast
As Syria opens up to investment and re-integrates into the regional and international economy, its legal and procedural frameworks are being updated continuously. These are the announced developments we take into account when planning a project:
- July 2025
Investment Law amended by Decree No. 114 of 2025
Decree No. 114 of 2025 amended parts of Investment Law No. 18 of 2021, strengthening investor guarantees – e.g. seizure or expropriation only by court decision and against compensation at real value – and providing for dispute settlement by amicable means, arbitration or the competent courts. This is not legal advice.
