25% Transport Cost Rise
On September 14, Syria’s Ministry of Energy raised prices for petroleum products by between 25 and 40 percent. The increase drove up transportation costs and disrupted the routines of employees, students, and drivers, prompting many to cut back on trips or use public transport. Abdul Razzaq Habzeh, secretary of the Consumer Protection Association, estimated that transport costs had risen by around 25 percent on average, while business for some taxi drivers fell by more than a third. Higher transportation costs also affected the prices of goods, with dairy products and cheese estimated to have risen by around 10 percent and detergents by 15 to 20 percent.
