Syria 2025: Banking Sanctions Block Economic Recovery

In a recent interview with Bloomberg, our Sanctions Lead Analyst Vittorio Maresc explained why banking sanctions are doing the most damage—cutting Syria off from the global financial system.

He also warned:

– “Cessation” of sanctions is legally ambiguous.

– Terrorism designations prevent any diplomatic or financial engagement.

– The allies—like Saudi Arabia and Turkey—are already laying the groundwork for normalization.

Without lifting financial and counterterrorism restrictions, recovery is structurally blocked, regardless of political shifts.
