Syrian President Ahmad Al-Shar’ indicated that Syria attracted investments estimated at nearly USD 28 billion during the past ten months. He explained that “the current investment law in Syria is one of the best laws in the world,” adding that “investment opportunities in Syria are very rich, and the world and economists realize this.”
Al-Shar’ stated, during his speech at the “Future Investment Initiative” Forum held in Riyadh, that “the economy is linked to regional security in the region, and we realize the pivotal importance of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and we were quick to visit it due to its importance.” He noted that “Syria is the gateway to the East and the Silk Road in the region, and the world has experienced the failure of Syria for 14 years.” He stressed that “security and stability are linked to economic development, and this is what Saudi Arabia represents as a leading case in the region.”
