Economy of Syria

As of 2015, the Syrian economy relies upon unreliable revenue sources such as dwindling customs and income taxes heavily bolstered by lines of credit from Iran. The economy has contracted by 60% and the Syrian pound has lost 80% of its value. The oil sector provided about 40% of export earnings, and the agriculture sector contributes to about 20% of GDP and employment. However, oil reserves are expected to decrease in the coming years, and Syria has already become a net oil importer. The government increasingly relies on credit from Iran, Russia, and China.

Industries in Syria

The industrial sector, including mining, manufacturing, construction, and petroleum, accounted for 27.3% of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2010 and employed about 16% of the labor force. The main industrial products are petroleum, textiles, food processing, beverages, tobacco, phosphate rock mining, cement, oil seeds crushing, and car assembly. Syria’s manufacturing sector was largely state-dominated until the 1990s when economic reforms allowed greater local and foreign private-sector participation.

Syria is a relatively small oil producer, accounting for just 0.5% of global production in 2010. Oil sales for 2010 were projected to generate $3.2 billion for the Syrian government and account for 25.1% of the state’s revenue. The country has also made significant contributions to phosphate rock output and is the world’s ninth-ranked producer of phosphate rock. The electrical generation capacity of Syria is also an important national priority.

Major Cities, Governorates, and Districts

Syria is divided into 14 governorates, which are then subdivided into 61 districts. The major cities of Syria include Latakia, Idlib, Aleppo, Raqqa, Al-Hasakah, Tartus, Hama, Deir ez-Zor, Homs, Damascus, Rif Dimashq, Quneitra, Daraa, and Al-Suwayda. The Democratic Federation of Northern Syria, also known as Rojava, is a de facto autonomous region in northeastern Syria, consisting of self-governing sub-regions in various areas.
