Syria has secured $28 billion in investments over the past ten months, according to interim President Ahmad al-Sharaa. The announcement was made on Wednesday during his speech at the Future Investment Initiative (FII) conference in Riyadh.
Al-Sharaa, attending as the guest of honor at the forum’s ninth edition, credited the surge in foreign interest to recent political shifts in Syria, notably the fall of former President Bashar al-Assad.
"This is just the beginning of a new economic chapter for Syria," al-Sharaa stated, highlighting infrastructure, energy, and digital technology as key sectors attracting capital.
Since Assad's ouster, Syria has opened its doors to international investors, with Gulf countries, China, and several European firms reportedly leading the influx of funding.
The FII forum, often dubbed the “Davos of the Desert,” has served as a platform for Syria’s transitional leadership to present its vision for reconstruction and economic revival.
As Hezbollah's war with Israel escalates and Lebanon descends deeper into crisis, one regional actor has made its position unmistakably clear: Syria under Ahmed al-Sharaa is not Bashar al-Assad's Syria, and Hezbollah should not mistake the two.
The Israeli military said it carried out an air strike on a bridge in southern Lebanon on Friday, in what appeared to be the first time in the current campaign against Hezbollah that it acknowledged attacking civilian infrastructure.
Two foreign workers were killed and several others injured after drones struck the northern Omani governorate of Sohar on Friday, according to Omani state media, the latest in Iran's ongoing wave of retaliatory strikes across the Gulf region.
