Prices & Inflation

Keep the older national inflation series separate from current monthly food-market prices.

Two different measures

World Bank consumer-price inflation stops in 2019; the WFP dashboard reports each governorate’s monthly median across monitored markets from 2011. One commodity price is not a national inflation index.

SYP/kg · Damascus

Market prices collected monthly by the World Food Programme from market monitors since 2011. Sanad publishes, per governorate, the median of that governorate's market prices for the month — not a single market and not below the governorate. SYP and USD are separate series (USD is converted at the exchange rate at collection time). Some values are WFP "aggregate" figures. Unofficial/parallel-market exchange rates are not included.

Change from previous period +3.53 SYP/kg (+4.1%) vs 2026-04

Downloadable market prices

Select governorate, commodity, currency, price type, and unit. Never combine SYP and USD in one chart or table; the default is retail wheat flour, KG, SYP. Download the table as CSV or Excel.

Reading limits

Price changes may reflect inflation, supply, seasonality, or a changing market sample. The USD series uses the conversion rate at collection and is not a parallel-market rate.
