The Syrian pound continues to experience fluctuations in its exchange rate against the US dollar, impacting the economic landscape for citizens and businesses alike. This article provides a comprehensive update on سعر صرف الليرة السورية مقابل الدولار (the exchange rate of the Syrian pound against the dollar) as of today, Tuesday, February 12, 2025, at 3:18 PM (Mecca time), detailing both the parallel market (السوق الموازية) and official bank rates. Understanding these changes is critical for anyone dealing with the Syrian currency.
تحديثات سعر صرف الليرة السورية اليوم – السوق الموازية (Today’s Syrian Pound Exchange Rate – Parallel Market)
The parallel market, often referred to as the black market, remains the primary source of currency exchange for many Syrians. Today, the سعر صرف الليرة السورية مقابل الدولار saw a noticeable decline compared to yesterday’s closing rates. This trend reflects ongoing economic pressures and limited access to foreign currency.
أسعار الشراء والبيع في المحافظات السورية (Buying and Selling Prices in Syrian Provinces)
Here’s a breakdown of the exchange rates in key Syrian cities:
- دمشق، حلب، وإدلب: The buying rate has decreased to 12,075 SYP from 12,050 SYP yesterday. The selling rate has also dropped, now at 12,125 SYP compared to 12,100 SYP.
- الحسكة: A slight decrease was observed here as well. The buying rate is now 12,275 SYP, down from 12,250 SYP. The selling rate has lowered to 12,325 SYP from 12,300 SYP.
These figures represent the prevailing rates at the time of reporting and are subject to change based on market conditions. It’s important to monitor updates frequently, particularly for larger transactions. The instability of the سعر صرف الليرة السورية مقابل الدولار in the parallel market underscores the economic challenges faced by the country.
سعر الصرف في المصرف المركزي السوري (Exchange Rate in the Central Bank of Syria)
In contrast to the volatility of the parallel market, the Central Bank of Syria (CBS) continues its policy of maintaining a fixed exchange rate. Currently, the CBS sets the سعر صرف الليرة السورية مقابل الدولار at 11,000 SYP for buying and 11,110 SYP for selling.
However, this official rate is significantly different from the reality in the parallel market, and access to dollars at this rate is severely restricted, typically reserved for essential imports sanctioned by the government. This discrepancy contributes to the continued reliance on the black market for everyday currency needs. The fixed rate doesn’t accurately reflect the actual purchasing power of the Syrian pound.
الليرة السورية الجديدة وعملية التبديل (The New Syrian Pound and Exchange Process)
The anticipation surrounding the planned issuance of a new Syrian pound continues to grow. The CBS has reiterated its commitment to implementing a phased exchange of the existing currency for the new version.
The Central Bank emphasized that it is the sole authorized source of information regarding the new currency and the exchange process. They are actively working with relevant parties to ensure a smooth transition. Furthermore, the CBS stated there is no confirmed final date for the launch of the new currency, dismissing any rumors circulating on unofficial platforms. They promise transparency and will announce details through their official channels when ready.
This initiative, intended to combat counterfeiting and potentially stabilize the سعر صرف الليرة السورية مقابل الدولار, has been a topic of considerable discussion. The success of this endeavor will depend on effective implementation and public trust. The introduction of the new currency is also expected to impact the availability of foreign exchange (تحويلات مالية) – a related area of concern for many Syrians.
تأثير التطورات الاقتصادية على سعر الصرف (Impact of Economic Developments on the Exchange Rate)
Several factors contribute to the fluctuations in the سعر صرف الليرة السورية مقابل الدولار. These include:
- Political Instability: Ongoing security concerns continue to weigh heavily on the Syrian economy.
- Sanctions: International sanctions restrict access to foreign trade and investment.
- Inflation: High inflation erodes the purchasing power of the Syrian pound.
- Remittances: The flow of remittances from Syrians abroad significantly impacts the availability of foreign currency. Decreases in remittances put downward pressure on the pound.
- Government Policies: Monetary policies implemented by the CBS play a role, though their influence may be limited given the broader economic constraints.
الخلاصة (Conclusion)
The سعر صرف الليرة السورية مقابل الدولار remains volatile in the parallel market, currently trading lower than yesterday’s rates. The official exchange rate set by the CBS continues to diverge significantly from the reality experienced by most Syrians. The upcoming issuance of the new Syrian pound offers a potential pathway toward economic stabilization, but its success hinges on transparent implementation and overcoming the numerous underlying economic challenges. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide regular updates.
