TBH, Assad already had largely abandon state-led development. The transitional government is just trying to say all the right things required to please the west and get those sanctions removed.
The economic future of Syria pretty much hinges on wether it manages to stabilize, wether the americans drop sanctions, wether the new government recovers control over most of the country’s natural resources (meaning the oil controlled by the US/SDF), how much destruction and instability Israel leaves in its wake, how well turkish industry does in making up for shortfalls, and so on. But I don’t think state-led developmentism was ever on the cards. If it was it could have happened under Assad and via Russia and Iran.
