The Directorate of Bakeries has raised the price of a bread bundle while reducing the number of loaves from nine to eight. The new bundle will be sold for 4,500 Syrian pounds, with the decision taking effect tomorrow, Tuesday.

Under the decision, each bundle will contain eight loaves instead of nine and will be priced at 4,500 Syrian pounds. This means a higher cost for consumers, both in terms of the bundle’s price and the amount of bread they receive for the money they pay.
