After stability of Turkish Lira for two months | “Salvation Government” changes specifications of bread bundles

Idlib province: SOHR activists have reported that the “Salvation Government” in Idlib reduced the weight and number of bread loaves to 525 grams instead of 550 grams.

Moreover, the number of bread loaves was reduced to six from seven with a fixed price of five Turkish Liras, after the Turkish Lira declined against the USD to become 16 Liras for one USD.

The changes in specifications of bread bundles comes after two months of stability.

On March 13, the specifications of bread bundles were changed three times, where the “Salvation Government” reduced the weight to 550 grams and the number to seven loaves with a fixed price of five Turkish Liras.

While on March 9, the Salvation Government reduced the weight of bread bundle from 650 grams to 600 grams and the number of loaves to seven from eight loaves.

On March 5, the Salvation Government reduced the weight of bread bundle from 750 grams to 650 grams and the number of loaves to eight from nine loaves.

Moreover, the bread subsidy project, that was started by the head of HTS “Al-Jolany”, was suspended to reduce the public tension.
