The economic situation in Syria has deteriorated significantly over the past two years, with many citizens struggling to afford basic necessities like bread and fuel. Rising costs have sparked protests and highlighted the government's disconnect from the populace, as essential bills and food prices soar, pushing 90% of Syrians into poverty according to the UN Development Programme.
Despite some political stability following the fall of the Assad regime, the country continues to grapple with the aftermath of war and economic challenges. The government's austerity measures and subsidy cuts have exacerbated the crisis, leading to widespread discontent and fears of potential unrest if conditions do not improve.
