Syrian Arab Republic Debt Service (2008–2010)

Overview

Syrian Arab Republic's debt service stood at 3.15% in 2010, a decline of +0.75% from 2009. Syrian Arab Republic ranked 31st globally.

Syrian Arab Republic’s debt‑service burden fell to 3.15 percent of exports in 2010, ranking it 31st worldwide, and marking the all‑time trough after a brief peak of 3.90 percent in 2009. The decline from the 2008 level of 3.43 percent reflects a modest easing of external payment pressures during a period when regional fiscal volatility was rising. By comparison, peer economies such as Fiji posted an identical 3.15 percent ratio in the same year, while Myanmar and the Democratic Republic of Congo recorded slightly lower burdens of 3.08 percent, underscoring Syria’s relative position near the median of the low‑to‑moderate range. The three‑year coverage of the data suggests a short‑term improvement rather than a sustained structural shift, and future movements will hinge on the country’s ability to stabilize export revenues and manage external debt maturities. Continued diversification of the export base could further lower the debt‑service ratio in the coming years.
