Individual Country Report: SYRIA
Strategic Analysis (SA) at the Henry Jackson Society (HJS) has just released its MENA Oil and Gas Sector Risks and Forecasts Report as well as Individual Country Risk and Forecast Reports. The Syria report utilises a high-profile network with a detailed knowledge of the region. This is something that will benefit individuals within the legal, financial services, energy, banking, consultancy, infrastructure sectors.
Strategic Analysis leverages the unique specialist capabilities of the Henry Jackson Society Research Division to provide clients with decision-ready, commercially relevant research, analysis and consulting services to assist them with mitigating risks and identifying opportunities for their business. Our highly skilled analysts frequently appear on the BBC, Sky, Al-Jazeera and often write for the New York Times and the Financial Times, amongst other papers. The Henry Jackson Society regularly deals with the House of Commons and organises high profile events with the likes of Mohammad Yunus and Jeffrey Sachs.
Executive Summary
Given the civil war currently unfolding there, it was decided that our Syria report would follow a unique structure, distinct from the approach employed in the other individual country reports. Aspects such as economy, corruption, and legal and regulatory systems – which have formed the basis of the other country profiles – would provide little commercially-relevant information here since these systems and institutions have been crippled by two years of conflict, and are likely to emerge transformed in any post-war scenario. Instead, this report will focus on the conflict itself, its impact on Syrian oil and gas infrastructure, and the implications of the various sanctions which have targeted Syria’s hydrocarbon sector. The political dynamics of the fighting will also be explored, in order to assess the risks posed to regional stability, as well as any prospects for conflict resolution and the return of Syria’s oil and gas sector into international commercial markets.
