Has the Syrian Pound been debased?+
Every fiat currency loses purchasing power over time as central banks expand the money supply. M2 has grown by approximately 170% over the past decade. Combined with cumulative inflation, this is the gap between SYP as accounting unit and SYP as a store of value.
