Sudan’s Currency Tumbles to New Low as War Hammers Economy
Sudan's currency hit a new low of 10,000 Sudanese pounds to the dollar on Wednesday in parallel market trading, continuing a dramatic fall over recent months as wartime conditions take their toll on the economy. The rapid 60% depreciation has heaped hardship on Sudanese still trying to regain their footing after devastating conflict and forced displacement caused by the war between Sudanese armed forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, putting basic food items out of reach.
