Overview
Syrian Arab Republic's consumer price index stood at 614.95 in 2019, a rise of +72.75 from 2018. Syrian Arab Republic ranked 180th globally.
The Syrian Arab Republic’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose from a base of 1.45 in 1960 to an all‑time peak of 614.95 in 2019, placing the country 180th out of 190 economies measured by the World Bank. Over the 60‑year coverage period the index surged dramatically, reflecting prolonged macro‑economic instability, war‑related supply disruptions and fiscal deficits that accelerated price growth after the early 2000s. The trough recorded in 1962 at 1.42 underscores how modest inflation was in the post‑colonial era, a stark contrast to the hyperinflationary environment of the 2010s. By comparison, Iran, a regional peer, posted a CPI of 550.93 in the same year, while Belarus registered 508.34, indicating that Syria’s price level is among the highest in the Middle East and former Soviet sphere. If structural reforms, debt relief and a durable cease‑fire are achieved, the upward trajectory of the CPI could moderate, allowing inflation to recede toward pre‑crisis levels.
