Syrian PoundSYP
Target UnitThe Syrian Pound (SYP) is the official currency of Syria, established as the national currency in the mid-20th century. The SYP is subdivided into 100 piastres. It is issued by the Central Bank of Syria and is used for all forms of transactions including cash, credit, and electronic transfers. The value of the SYP has fluctuated significantly due to economic factors and the ongoing civil conflict in Syria. The currency is used mainly for domestic transactions, but it is also involved in foreign trade and remittances. The acceptance of the SYP is limited outside of Syria, with varying exchange rates affecting its value against other currencies. As a fiat currency, its value is not backed by a physical commodity but is instead based on the trust and stability of the issuing government.
Current Use
The Syrian Pound is primarily used within Syria for all types of transactions including retail, services, and government payments. While it is the official currency, the ongoing conflict and economic instability have led to a reliance on foreign currencies, particularly the US dollar and the Euro, for many transactions, especially in border areas and among expatriates. Businesses in Syria often quote prices in both SYP and foreign currencies, reflecting the dual nature of the economy. The Central Bank of Syria continues to manage the currency, although its effectiveness has been challenged by inflation and market volatility. In addition, remittances from Syrians abroad frequently come in foreign currencies, which are then exchanged for SYP in local markets, further complicating the currency landscape.
Fun Fact
The SYP has experienced severe inflation, leading to its significant devaluation since the onset of the civil war.

The Central Bank of Syria was established shortly thereafter, further consolidating the currency's role within the national economy.
Etymology: The term 'pound' derives from the Latin 'libra pondo,' meaning 'a pound by weight.'
