The European Union and the United Kingdom have imposed sanctions on Sudan targeting gold trade, aiming to reduce conflict financing in the country. Gold is considered a cornerstone of the Sudanese economy and a primary means of collecting foreign currency, with the country producing 70.15 tons in 2025. However, a significant portion of the production is smuggled out of the country, resulting in losses amounting to billions of dollars annually. European sanctions play a role in regulating gold exports and preventing their shipment to the European Union, but their impact is limited due to the smuggling networks' ability to reprocess and re-export the gold. The sanctions decision also included an exception for gum arabic, which is essential for various industries. Meanwhile, gold remains a strategic target for financing parties involved in the conflict, with efforts underway to halt its flow to fund the war and undermine Sudan’s conflict economy.
