Inflation analysis
Inflation in Syria
Syria inflation is 13.42% in 2019, following 0.94% in 2018. 61 years of data are available, from 1959.
This page covers 61 years of Syria consumer price data, from 1959 to 2019. The steepest single year on record was 1987, when consumer prices in Syria rose 59.5%. A rate that high compounds brutally: at that pace money loses about half its value every two years.
Prices fell in 7 of those 60 years, including in recent decades — about 12% of the time — most sharply in 1965, when they dropped 3.9%. In a year like that money gained purchasing power rather than losing it. By decade, the 1980s were the most inflationary stretch, averaging 22.6% a year, while the 1960s were the calmest at 1.8%. Over the last ten years inflation has averaged 21.5% a year, well above the 11.4% average across the whole record.
