The Syrian pound also recorded a new record deterioration in its value in the parallel market, reaching the threshold of four thousand against one dollar in a country where the conflict this month enters its tenth year.
For their part, Iraq and Sudan are trying to control the exchange rate of the dollar, without changing that from the poor living reality that was affected of course, as the dollar in Sudan recorded 376 pounds, while in Iraq it recorded 1462.5 dinars.
