Sudan currency hits new black-market low against dollar: traders
The Sudanese pound has hit a new low against the US dollar on the black market because of a shortage of foreign currency in the country’s markets, traders said Monday.
They said the dollar was selling at 10 pounds for the first time, down from 9.5 last week.
Sudan’s economy suffered when South Sudan gained independence in 2011, with the country losing nearly three quarters of its oil resources.
