IDLIB, Syria — The prices of foodstuffs in areas run by the Syrian Salvation Government (affiliated with Hayat Tahrir al-Sham) in Syria’s northwestern province of Idlib remained unchanged while the value of the Turkish lira strengthened against the US dollar. In these areas, the Turkish lira has been in circulation for about six months.
The Turkish lira’s rise in the past weeks rekindled the hope of citizens in Idlib of seeing the prices of basic goods drop proportionately. At one point, the lira had fallen to more than 8 to the dollar. But the Turkish lira recently has bounced back, strengthening at one point to 6.9 against the dollar.
