A UN report shows that Syria's economy needs 55 years to return to its pre-conflict level if it continues to grow at the current pace. The United Nations appealed to the international community to invest heavily in Syria to accelerate growth.
According to the United Nations, at the current growth rate of about 1.3 percent per year on average between 2018 and 2024, the Syrian economy will not return before 2080 to the GDP it was before the war. Syria's GDP in the year before the crisis erupted was about $62 billion but has shrunk by more than half, with an estimated $800 billion in losses due to the war.
