Overview
Syrian Arab Republic's imports stood at $19.4B in 2010, a rise of +$2.7B from 2009. Syrian Arab Republic ranked 113th globally.
Syrian Arab Republic’s import volume expanded dramatically from 2,820,100,000.00 in 1977 to a record 19,408,796,113.51 in 2010, placing the country at rank 113 globally in the latest year. The all‑time peak coincides with the 2010 figure, while the lowest point occurred in 1989 at 2,613,000,000.00, underscoring a more than seven‑fold increase over three decades. This upward trajectory mirrors the pattern observed in neighboring Jordan, whose 2010 imports reached 18,241,408,450.70, suggesting regional demand growth driven by reconstruction, consumption, and trade liberalisation. The surge also parallels the broader Middle‑East trend of expanding import bills amid rising energy and food prices during the 2000s. If current fiscal pressures and geopolitical constraints persist, the upward momentum may moderate, but continued infrastructure investment and diversification of supply sources could sustain gradual growth in Syrian imports.
