Sham Economic Report September 13
The Syrian pound experienced a decline against the US dollar and foreign currencies in the local market during September 2026. The dollar in the parallel market traded at approximately 132.75 pounds for buying and 133.25 pounds for selling, while the official exchange rate stood around 122 pounds. This depreciation is attributed to increased import costs of petroleum derivatives due to rising global prices, with diesel approaching $1,400 per ton and Brent crude around $100 per barrel. Syria's demand reaches about 300,000 barrels daily, compared to an estimated domestic production of 100,000 barrels, necessitating imports. The government clarified that the rise in oil prices is temporary and aimed at ensuring fuel availability. Meanwhile, Syria is seeking to expand its exports and activate industrial and export sectors through international trade exhibitions, amid ongoing economic pressures on the currency and energy markets.
