Common Questions
Clear answers about Syrian exchange rates, gold and calculations.
What does the USD/SYP market average mean?
It is the arithmetic average of the latest valid buy or sell readings available from the displayed Damascus sources. It is a monitoring indicator, not an executable quote.
How often does SouqSyria check for new prices?
The local fetch service runs on a systemd timer. The installer lets the server owner choose a 5- or 10-minute polling interval. The upstream source itself may update less frequently.
How does the site show the new Syrian pound?
The database keeps source prices exactly as received. The page adds a display layer where 100 old Syrian pounds equal 1 new Syrian pound, so users can compare the familiar market number with the redenominated value.
Why can update times differ?
Market data can update at different moments during the day. The page shows the latest available reading and refreshes automatically.
What does the 18K gold price mean?
It is the displayed market reading for 18K gold used for monitoring and comparison.
Are gold prices final shop prices?
No. Final prices may vary by shop, workmanship, spread, and availability.
Does the site offer financial advice?
No. Prices and analysis are for informational monitoring only.
