FX Market

Country: Syrian Arab Republic Source: REACH Initiative Please refer to the attached file. KEY FINDINGS • In August 2026, the national median cost of the Survival Minimum Expenditure Basket (SMEB) increased by 7% compared to May 2026, reaching USD 173. Increases in USD were observed across all assessed regions, with the largest rise recorded in Northeastern Syria (NES) (+13%), followed by Northwestern Syria (NWS) (+12%) and Central-Southern Syria (CSS) (+6%), indicating a continued increase in the minimum cost of meeting basic household needs. • The Syrian pound (SYP) strengthened modestly against the US dollar between May and August 2026, appreciating by around 1% nationally and 2% in both NES and CSS region. However, despite the improved exchange rate, the cost of the Survival Minimum Expenditure Basket (SMEB) increased across all SYP-denominated areas, indicating that inflation in essential goods and services outweighed currency gains. In Northwest Syria (NWS), where the Turkish lira (TRY) is widely used, the currency depreciated by 6% against the US dollar, adding further pressure on household purchasing power. • In August 2026, the national food component of the SMEB rose by 9%, reaching USD 127.

Powerful Explosion Rocks Aleppo Ammo Depot In Latest Mystery Blast

Inflation

Powerful Explosion Rocks Aleppo Ammo Depot In Latest Mystery Blast A terrifying blast erupted outside the major northern Syrian city of Aleppo overnight, which caused area residents to evacuate their homes, and with sustained explosions visible for miles around . The explosion happened at an army base in an outlying town, injuring at least four people, after which a series of blasts persisted, which unleashed shrapnel across the area. State media outlet SANA later cited Ministry of Emergency and Disaster Management which indicated an ammunition depot was detonated . Amid local evacuations, emergency crews were on "high alert... due to the continued explosions" - after being initially unable to get close given persisting and follow-on explosions. An eyewitness in Aleppo's Hamdaniyeh neighborhood told AFP of a "huge explosion" and that people in the area could see "large flames in the distance". Typically the first fear that Syrians have is that they are once again under attack by Israeli fighter jets, given this is a scenario which has played out literally hundreds of times over the past several years of conflict.

Syria raises fuel and cooking gas prices Syria has temporarily raised fuel and cooking gas prices, citing rising global energy and shipping costs as well as reduced domestic refining capacity. The country's Permanent Committee for Pricing Petroleum Products and Mineral Resources raised the price of 95-octane gasoline from 152 new Syrian pounds ($1.25) to 195 pounds ($1.60) per litre, an increase of 28.3 percent. The price of 90-octane gasoline rose from $1.21 to $1.52 per litre, up 25.9 percent, while diesel climbed from about $1.03 to $1.44 per litre, marking the steepest increase of 40 percent. The Energy Ministry said the increases were temporary and reflected an exceptional rise in the cost of procuring petroleum products from international markets, alongside the major overhaul of the Banias refinery, a key supplier of fuel to the domestic market.
