The removal of Syria from the United States' "state sponsors of terrorism" list by President Trump marks a significant milestone towards Syria's economic recovery, analysts say. After a 45-day congressional review period, the US officially delisted Syria on Monday, eliminating additional financial and trade restrictions that had hindered the war-torn country's integration into the global financial system since 1979. This move is expected to provide a much-needed economic boost for Syria, which has been grappling with near-total isolation due to years of international sanctions and internal conflict. The lifting of US sanctions will reduce legal risks for banks engaging in Syria-related financing or transactions and potentially open new channels for development and reconstruction support, according to analyst Vittorio Maresca di Serracapriola. While the decision represents a positive step towards Syria's economic recovery, Syrian banking and economic expert Ibrahim Kochaji emphasizes that it is not an immediate remedy for the country's deep-rooted economic struggles, which require a long path of reforms and measures bolstered by stability and sound governance. The transitional government must seize this opportunity to implement good governance, transparency, anticorruption measures, and meaningful judicial reform to regain investors' confidence and ensure sustainable recovery for the Syrian people.
