He attributed the trend to a shortage of newly issued currency in Hasakah governorate, the limited number of exchange centers, and the short time remaining to complete the replacement process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He added that the sharp increase in the exchange rate is more pronounced in Hasakah than in other parts of Syria. According to his contacts with exchange dealers in other governorates, including the capital Damascus, the US dollar has not exceeded SYP 13,500 elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>By Atoun Jan<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) \u2013 The Syrian pound recorded on Monday a sharp decline against foreign currencies in Hasakah Governorate, with the US dollar surpassing the SYP 14,000 mark amid growing demand for foreign currency ahead of the deadline to exchange old Syrian banknotes.
