Hashtag-Falak Al-Quwatli
Food prices in the markets of the capital, Damascus, have been relatively stable for about a week.
“Hashtag” monitored during a tour of one of the capital’s markets a decrease in the prices of some basic materials, as a kilo of Spanish rice recorded 3700 SP, flour 2100 SP, sugar 2100 SP, pasta 3200 SP, tea 30 thousand SP, thyme 9000 SP.
While the noodle envelope recorded a price of 600 SP, sardines 1300 SP, tuna 2300 SP, olive oil 10 liters 14 thousand SP.
The owner of one of the shops said that the reasons for the increase in prices and their failure to decrease with the improvement in the price of the lira is due to the weakness of supervision and the monopoly of a number of merchants and their control over prices.
A family of five people needs at least 600,000 Syrian pounds to secure the most basic necessities of daily life, meaning there is a shortfall in the Syrian family’s monthly budget of no less than 500,000 pounds.
