Doing Business in Syria:
Investor Guides
The Doing Business in Syria guide series provides practical, up-to-date analysis of Syria's evolving business environment in 2026. The series combines legal, regulatory, sectoral, and operational research, informed by consultations with Syrian lawyers and experts, roundtables with U.S. companies, discussions with international law firms and compliance professionals, and engagement with Syrian institutional counterparts.
The development of the Investor Guides was funded by the U.S. State Department, implemented by Creative Associates International in partnership with Karam Shaar Advisory Limited.
