Syrian Investment Climate Assessment : Unlocking the Potential of the Private Sector

2005

World Bank

The purpose of this Investment Climate Assessment (ICA) is to provide the Syrian government, as well as business leaders, with a rigorous empirical analysis of the investment climate in Syria and the factors influencing firm-level productivity and competitiveness. This analysis will be used to derive recommendations and options for priority measures to improve the investment climate and productivity, as well as find ways in which the World Bank and others might further support these reforms. The ultimate objective is to provide an agenda of reforms that together will create a business enabling environment conducive to accelerated private sector-led growth, thereby increasing Syrian national income and employment.
