Sudanese face war economy and pound collapse
The economic situation in Sudan is rapidly deteriorating due to the depreciation of the Sudanese pound against foreign currencies. This has led to a sharp increase in food prices and a decline in households' purchasing power. Meat prices have risen significantly, with the price of a kilogram of veal reaching 44,000 pounds and lamb 70,000 pounds. The costs of popular meals such as fattah and ful have also surged considerably, with meal prices increasing by nearly 40%. Amid mounting economic pressures, authorities are taking measures like opening points of sale at discounted prices in an attempt to curb price hikes. However, the continued devaluation of the currency warns of serious implications for living standards and the variety of food options available to Sudanese families.
