Chaos struck the currency markets in Sudan, amid the absence of the government’s role in controlling transactions, due to the scarcity of the dollar, which led to the return and expansion of the black market once more, following its disappearance for a limited period following the unification of the exchange rate, and the application of the Central Bank’s policies of pumping the US currency into commercial banks.

The United Nations criticizes Sudanese monetary policy
The United Nations said that the interventions of the Central Bank and the restrictive monetary policy contributed to the contraction of economic activity and the stabilization of the exchange rate in Sudan.
Sudan’s economy began to recover in 2021, as a result of reforms implemented by the transitional government, but the coup carried out by General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan led to a contraction of the economy once once more.
On Wednesday, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, presented a report to the UN Security Council, on the developments of the situation in Sudan, and the activities of the UN mission during the period from August 21 to November 20, 2022.
The report said: “The central bank’s interventions and more restrictive monetary policy contributed to the contraction of the economy and the stabilization of the exchange rate.”
He pointed out that this policy is represented in an increase of only 36% in the money supply, from January to September 2022, compared to an increase of 128% during the same period in 2021.
The UN report expected the Sudanese economy to contract by 0.3% in 2022, following achieving an estimated growth of 0.5% in 2021.
