The article is devoted to the analysis of the social-economic situation in the Syrian Arab Republic in the period from the 60s of the last century to the present. It can be argued that of all the conflict hotbeds in the Middle East region, Syria has suffered the greatest losses. The real challenges for Syria now lie in the economy even more than during the active phase of hostilities. Syria needs deep reforms in the social-economic sphere. Thus, the study of the current stage of the social-economic development of Syria is relevant for understanding the internal problems of one of the key countries in the Middle East.
