Factors Affecting the Competitiveness ability of Syrian Exports

This research studies the competitiveness ability of Syrian exports and the major factors empowering this ability, the availability of these factors considers one of the most important elements to ensure maximum productivity and best use of resources, and thus reach higher rates of economic growth, taking into account the importance of analyzing the excellence elements which Syrian Exportation Sector owns in light of all restrictive factors facing competitiveness ability including production costs quality and government role, this research identified a group of remarks and conclusions indicating that although Syria owns market power elements but they are not invested in a sufficient way. Therefore, the Syrian market is weak with respect to the competitiveness ability, in addition to a clear weakness of the competitiveness of the Syrian exportations, in particular the industrial exportations. This results in the need to implement a group of recommendations or solutions in order to overcome this dilemma. The forefront of these recommendations is the need to support the Syrian exportation’s sectors that have the best competitiveness ability to compete in a clear and transparent framework of strategy for external trade.

The Effect of the Syrian railway transport on the Syrian export growth to neighboring countries

This research studies the important role that can be played by the railway transportation in the development of the Syrian commercial exchanges with countries around the world، especially the neighboring countries with which we have a network of railway lines, And the problem of this research leads us to ask the following question: What are the role and effect that can be played by the railway transportation in the growth of the commercial balance and especially the growth of the Syrian export sector to the countries of the world, while the aims of research concentrate on the study of the development of the Syrian railway transportation income within the period of ten years(2000-2010) and the study of the development of the Syrian exports within the same period of time then, the relationship between the previous items was studied and they were analyzed by using (SPSS) system to determine the relationship between them. The researcher reaches several results, such as the weakness of the Syrian railway transport and the highness of its costs and inability to compete with other sections of local and external transportation never the less it still contributes in the development and the enhancement of the quality and quantity of the exports to the countries around the world, especially the neighboring countries with which we have a network of railway lines, moreover the researcher has come to recommendations such as the enhancement of the development of the railway network and the adoption of standardized costs system and the increment of the railway lines, and the extension of the network to cover all areas and countries around the world for the activation of the important role that played by the railway transportation in the development of commercial exchanges with countries around the world .
