The Damascus gathering built on the themes highlighted in London, including Syria’s plans to advance reconstruction, attract investment and refine its regulatory environment. Speakers referenced recent momentum in several key sectors, including health, energy and infrastructure, noting increased interest from regional and international investors. According to Syrian officials, new investment commitments in recent months have reached approximately $28bn, supported by ongoing efforts to ensure greater clarity and alignment in investment laws.
