Syria, with a population of around 25.53 million people, has a GDP of approximately 60.04 billion making it the 90th largest economy in the world. The official currency of Syria is the Syrian Pound (SYP)
The economy has been shattered by a prolonged civil war, with remaining activity centered on agriculture and limited oil production. It is highly dependent on economic and military support from its main allies, Iran and Russia.
In Syria's shattered economy, the only viable payment method for daily life is physical cash, the Syrian Pound. In many areas, goods are simply bartered, and foreign currencies like the US dollar or Turkish Lira are used as a more stable medium of exchange. Informal "hawala" transfer systems are also crucial for receiving remittances from abroad.
