What Syria's economic profile is telling you
Syria's page deliberately preserves the disparate reference years in the World Bank country profile. GDP and real growth are from 2022, the latest CPI observation shown is from 2019, and modeled unemployment is from 2025. These figures are not presented as a single current-year snapshot.
Reading the macro data
Nominal GDP measures current-dollar size. Real growth, inflation and unemployment describe different economic conditions and can have different reference years.
Reading the trade data
Merchandise trade covers goods. A balance appears only when exports and imports have a verified matching year and currency basis.
