Broad Economic Overview: Sudan’s economy was driven by the oil sector but the secession of South Sudan cost Sudan two-thirds of its oil revenue. South Sudan hosts 80% of Sudan’s Oilfields. Sudan has struggled to stabilize its economy and make up for the loss of foreign exchange earnings. Sudan is attempting to develop non-oil sources of revenues, such as gold mining and agriculture. Sudan is Africa’s third largest gold producer after South Africa and Ghana, and gold production is expected to support the mining sector despite its low productivity, with artisanal mining accounting for 80% of production. It is the world’s largest exporter of gum Arabic, Sudan produces 75-80% of the world’s total output. Agriculture continues to employ 80% of the work force as about 63% of Sudan’s land is agricultural, and only 15–20% of it is under cultivation. Real GDP contracted further in 2019 by an estimated 2.4% from 2.3% contraction in 2018. A weak business environment due to political uncertainty continues to discourage private investment and dampen confidence and productivity. Sudan currency is Sudanese pound which was introduced after the secession of South Sudan in 2011.

Investment Opportunities: Sudan’s lack of integration into international trade, political instability and a weak business environment continues to deter private investment. However, investment opportunities abound in the agriculture, mining, energy and industrial sectors. Sudan has extensive arable land of which about 85% remains uncultivated. Sudan is very rich in wildlife and there are investment opportunities for modern livestock farming. It has vast mineral deposits that have not been exploited; mineral deposits which have been discovered in different parts of the country awaiting investors include gold, silver, iron ore, chromate, mica, silica, gypsum, granite, marble, chinaclay, manganese, asbestos, trauna (costic soda), talc and lime stone, copper, zink, lead, cement, small quantities of mica, chromate, asbestos and marble. Sudan has abundant potential renewable energy sources even though the country has shortage of energy, especially electricity. Sudan can boast of the River Nile with many cataracts and waterfalls, strong winds, sun, all these sources provide excellent opportunities for renewable energy investments.
