Currency plunge | Widespread popular resentment grows as Syrian pound plummets to unprecedented level

The Syrian pound nose-dived to its lowest level ever against U.S dollar, recording 1,555 SYL, while the Syrian pound against the Euro recorded 1,627 SYL.

 

On the other hand, the prices of staples and essential products rose throughout Syria to a level unaffordable by the many, affected by the currency’s plunge, which ignited widespread popular resentment.
