The Middle East is a victim of civilian contacts. Under the current conditions, the question arises of rationalizing the investment strategy of the post-war development of the countries of the region that have managed to overcome this crisis. In the article this problem is considered on the example of Syria. A rational way of multiplicative stimulation of the development of the country’s economy is proposed, based on the approach of J. M. Keynes. This approach consists in choosing the most favorable conditions for investment. According to the results of research at this point (industry) was ferrous metallurgy. At the initial stage of the post-war reconstruction of the republic, it can come out with a locomotive. The optimal configuration and place for the construction of a production metallurgical cluster that provides the market with the most popular types of metal products: 1 million tons per year of hot-rolled sheet (1-12.5 mm), 150 thousand tons of galvanized sheet per year (0.2-2, 5 mm), 200 thousand tons per year of shaped steel (2-8 mm), 50 thousand tons per year of galvanized shaped steel (0.7-3 mm). The functioning of the cluster will provide Syria with sheets and fittings, will contribute to the development of engineering and other sectors of the economy, will lead to an increase in the country’s GDP by 4.5% and a reduction in government debt payments by $ 532.5 million per year.
