## Prediction

Within seven days, initial exploratory investor delegations—likely from Russia, UAE, or smaller regional players—will quietly visit or announce interest in Syrian infrastructure and real estate, testing the new legal environment after US delisting. Actual capital commitments will remain limited due to residual US and EU sanctions, but speculative positioning and property claims will begin. This will start to reshape expectations around Syrian asset values and future tenders. Confirmation would be travel reports, MOUs, or early-stage project discussions; a contrary case would be firm US or EU warnings that stall any visible moves.

## Drivers

- US removal of Syria from State Sponsor of Terrorism list
- Longstanding Russian and regional interest in Syrian reconstruction
- Emerging trend of Western sanctions architecture pivoting focus from Syria to Iran
