Syrian pound
On 13 January 2020, the currency deteriorated further, as more than £S1,000 was traded for US$1 in the black market, despite being valued at £S434 = US$1 by the Syrian Central Bank. During the COVID-19 pandemic in Syria, the Syrian pound continued to fall against the U.S. dollar in the black market, where US$1 equaled more than £S1,600 in May 2020. A month later, the Syrian pound passed £S2,000 against the dollar, and a few days later, it passed £S3,000 against the dollar.
