The Syrian pound returned to a new record low on Tuesday against the dollar and other major currencies.
The lira had improved significantly during Saturday and Sunday, despite the consequences of the earthquake that struck Turkey and northern Syria, before it reversed its trend towards a limited decline, in Damascus, on Monday.
However, the Syrian pound fell significantly during trading on Tuesday, and the “Damascus dollar” rose until the evening close, 350 pounds, to become between 7050 pounds for purchase, and 7100 pounds for sale.
The dollar recorded the same prices in Aleppo, Homs, Hama, Latakia, Tartous, Daraa and As-Suwayda.
In Idlib, the dollar also rose by 350 pounds, to become between 6,900 pounds for purchase and 6,950 pounds for sale.
The dollar recorded prices similar to the "Idlib dollar", or close to it, within a margin of difference not exceeding 100 pounds, in al-Bab, Afrin and Azaz, and in Manbij, Raqqa, Deir ez-Zor, al-Hasakah and Qamishli.
Returning to Damascus, the euro rose, 380 pounds, to become between 7,565 pounds for purchase and 7,615 pounds for sale.
The Turkish lira rose in Damascus by 18 Syrian pounds, to become between 368 Syrian pounds for purchase and 378 Syrian pounds for sale.
Likewise, the Turkish lira rose in Idlib, by 18 Syrian pounds, to become between 360 Syrian pounds for purchase and 370 Syrian pounds for sale.
The exchange rate of the Turkish lira against the dollar in Idlib ranged between 18.74 Turkish liras for purchase and 18.84 Turkish liras for sale.
The Central Bank of Syria, which is subject to the regime, raised the exchange rate of "remittance dollars", in its bulletin on Tuesday, to 50 pounds, to become 6,600 Syrian pounds.
