Economic liberalization in Syria is limited, with industry still heavily state-controlled. This implies the entire control of dictators over the resources and allocation of funds to various industries. The dictators of Syria were not able to hold the control of such resources and divert them towards their own personal interest. This forces people to consider the economic liberty as their right and attempts to overthrow the current dictator. Further problems arise due to various tensions and substantial conflicts such as autocratic and liberal government. Therefore, it can be stated that the economy had impacts due to such disputes within Syria.

Syria has been a subject of war for years. United Nations have estimated millions of dead and displaced. Safety continues to take priority over religion in much of Syria. People are not secure in Syria in terms of assaults, properties, religious practices, and other aspects. Thus, they are now inclined towards security and safety rather than religion. This is caused by the negligence of dictators that such circumstances prevail in Syria. People endeavors to overthrow its dictator from power for prosperity in the near future. Another significant issue experience in Syria is the Shia Sunni conflicts which are creating safety concerns for public.
