Inflation Rate (CPI): Syria

Analysis# Syria Inflation Rate (CPI) Syria's inflation rate stood at 4.4% in 2010, reflecting relative price stability after decades of volatility. This figure sits dramatically below the country's all-time peak of 71.4% in 1987, marking a 77.2% overall decline since 1980. The nation also experienced deflation of -3.9% in 2000, demonstrating the range of economic pressures Syria faced during the three-decade period. The 2000s revealed pronounced fluctuations, with rates swinging from deflation to double-digit inflation of 15.2% in 2008. By 2010, inflation had moderated to 4.4%, suggesting some stabilization after the previous year's spike. The recent trend indicates Syria was moving toward more moderate price growth, though the underlying volatility suggests underlying economic fragility persisted in the pre-conflict period.
