According to its statistics office, inflation in Sudan soared last month to a record 212 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sudan announced a doubling of fuel prices on Tuesday, adding to hardships in a country faced with record-breaking inflation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The government is increasing fuel prices,” Khairi Abdel Rahman, the deputy energy minister, told a news conference in Khartoum, announcing cuts in state subsidies with immediate effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said the price of a litre of diesel was going go up from 23 Sudanese pounds ($0.41) to 46 pounds, and oil from 28 pounds to 56 pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to its statistics office, inflation in Sudan soared last month to a record 212 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The local currency is in free fall in the import-dependent country, trading at between 240 and 250 pounds to the dollar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That compares to 50 pounds when a transitional government took over following the April 2019 fall of autocrat Omar al-Bashir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sudan, in the midst of a fragile political transition, is counting on foreign investment following its lifting last week from a US list of alleged state sponsors of terrorism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An announcement in December 2018 of a tripling of food prices sparked mass street protests that led to Bashir’s ouster four months later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
