Sudan’s economy contracted by 40% in 2023 due to armed conflict and is expected to decline by 28% this year, Finance Minister Gibril Ibrahim said.
State revenues fell by 80% last year, and to save money the government is paying only 60% of civil servants, the minister added.
He reportedly explained that Sudan’s economy is going through the “worst period in its history,” saying that the conflicts have caused huge damage to infrastructure, public facilities, private homes and properties across the country.
