Syrian Arab Republic's exchange rate was 3,581.54 in 2025, ranked 14th globally. This represents a 42.9% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1960–2025.
Overview
Syrian Arab Republic's exchange rate stood at 3,581.54 in 2025, a rise of +1,075.79 from 2022. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 3,581.54 by 2025. Syrian Arab Republic ranked 14th globally.
The Syrian Arab Republic’s official exchange rate has risen from 3.58 in 1961, the all‑time trough, to 3,581.54 in 2025, the highest level recorded over the 64‑year series and the 14th‑largest value among World Bank‑tracked economies. This more than thousand‑fold depreciation reflects prolonged macro‑economic instability, sanctions, and fiscal deficits that have eroded foreign‑exchange reserves and forced successive devaluations. By contrast, peer economies with similar rankings such as Mongolia (3,662.74) and Burundi (3,038.47) exhibit comparable levels of currency weakness, underscoring a broader pattern among low‑ranked exchange‑rate environments. The steep upward trajectory, anchored by the 2025 peak, suggests that without substantive structural reforms, fiscal consolidation, and restoration of external confidence, the Syrian pound is likely to continue its depreciation, although any successful stabilization program could reverse the current trend.
