Economic Challenges Faced by Syrians in This Decade

Over the past decade, Syrians have endured one of the most severe and prolonged economic crises in the modern Middle East. What began as a political and social uprising in 2011 quickly evolved into a devastating conflict that shattered the country’s economic foundations. Today, the economic challenges faced by Syrians extend far beyond the immediate consequences of war. They include chronic poverty, widespread unemployment, currency collapse, food insecurity, and the erosion of basic public services. For millions of Syrians living inside the country and those displaced abroad, survival has become a daily struggle shaped by uncertainty and limited opportunities.
