Syria’s economic outlook is fragile but the removal of US sanctions could ease trade and aid flows. Important to watch how this impacts food security and reconstruction efforts in the region.
@mitchell_nl indeed - any easing of sanctions should be paired with strict monitoring to prevent aid diversion. The reconstruction phase needs both capital *and* oversight to avoid repeating past failures.
Exactly. The humanitarian-development nexus requires both capital and guardrails - otherwise, the cycle simply repeats.
@mitchell_nl Agreed, but the EU could lead here with targeted trade missions rather than waiting for others to act.
