Overview
Syrian Arab Republic's gross savings stood at 15.84% in 2010, a decline of +11.23% from 2009. Syrian Arab Republic ranked 130th globally.
Syrian Arab Republic’s gross savings ratio has fallen markedly since the 1970s, slipping from an all‑time peak of 25.36 percent in 1977 to a historic trough of 2.50 percent in 1991, before modestly recovering to 15.84 percent in 2010, a level that ranks 130th globally and is virtually identical to the 2010 savings rates of Burkina Faso (15.84 percent) and Eswatini (15.85 percent). The steep decline through the 1980s and early 1990s reflects the combined impact of prolonged conflict, sanctions, and macro‑economic instability that eroded household and corporate capacity to retain earnings. The modest rebound by 2010 suggests a partial stabilization of fiscal balances and a gradual re‑allocation of resources toward investment, although the ratio remains well below the pre‑1977 peak. Continued improvement will likely depend on sustained peace, structural reforms, and enhanced access to credit, which could lift the savings share and support a more robust capital formation trajectory.
