The Syrian Arab Republic lies in Western Asia, on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea, at the crossroads of the trade routes linking Asia, Europe and Africa. For centuries this location has made it a transit point for goods and a centre of markets and crafts.
Economic sectors
The Syrian economy rests on a diverse base that includes agriculture and food processing, textiles and clothing, pharmaceuticals and chemicals, and building materials, as well as the services and tourism sector.
The chambers network
Chambers of commerce and industry are spread across the Syrian governorates and are the first point of contact for any business operating in the local market. The member chambers and their contact details can be found in the chambers directory.
