The European Union has lifted certain sanctions on Syria, particularly in sectors like energy, transport, and banking, to bolster democratic transition following years of conflict. This decision aims to encourage a political shift under new leadership, which emerged after the ousting of Bashar al-Assad. The EU indicated that these measures aim to support recovery and reconstruction but warned that sanctions could be reapplied if the interim leadership fails to implement necessary reforms. The move also reinstates opportunities for funding banks and easing luxury goods exports, reflecting a commitment to foster economic stability in the region.
