A decision by Syria’s Ministry of Energy to raise fuel prices has triggered the country’s largest wave of popular protests since the fall of the former regime in December 2024, with demonstrations, road blockades, and strikes spreading across several governorates. The ministry increased the price of gas oil (mazout) by 40 percent, petrol by more than 25 percent, and household and industrial gas by around 9 percent. The increases immediately pushed up public transport fares and fuel-related costs across the country, at a time when Syria is already experiencing double-digit inflation and widespread pressure on household purchasing power.

Iraqi fuel shipments exported through Syria to the Mediterranean have steadily increased since they started in March, providing Baghdad with an alternative route for moving fuel to international markets amid disruptions and closures affecting the Strait of Hormuz as a result of the regional war. According to data obtained exclusively by The Syria Report, between March and mid-September, the number of tankers crossing from Iraq has risen from 44 a day to around 1,500, and monthly shipments through Syria have jumped from 245,000 barrels to 8.43 million barrels.

Syria’s diplomatic opening has created an economic opportunity that would have seemed remote only a short time ago. The danger is that the political value of this opening will erode if Syrians see investment announcements multiplying while their own livelihoods remain insecure. The government’s ability to turn international interest into functioning businesses, reliable services and broadly shared opportunities will help determine whether the transition earns durable public confidence.
