June 27, 2026 (KHARTOUM) – The Sudanese currency experienced a minor rebound during Saturday’s market activities, fueled by the Central Bank of Sudan’s ongoing provision of foreign exchange to address import needs, as gold prices resumed their upward movement following a short-term decline in the morning.
The local currency and precious metals have seen major changes in recent weeks, which have directly impacted fuel and essential commodity prices throughout the nation.
Traders in the parallel market informed Sudan Tribune on Saturday that the U.S. dollar was being exchanged for 5,000 Sudanese pounds, a decrease from 5,200 pounds at the close of the previous week. The UAE dirham also saw a decline, reaching 1,370 pounds, compared to 1,410 pounds on Thursday.
In the meantime, gold market traders verified that the state-owned gold refinery keeps local prices above international market rates. Local prices temporarily dropped to 460,000 pounds per gram during morning trading but then rose again to 475,000 pounds, matching the refinery’s standard.
According to technical assessments, between 48% and 60% of Sudan’s gold output is illegally transported out of the nation via land borders or under-secured airports and ports. Data from the Central Bank of Sudan reveals that gold made up over 58% of the country’s overall exports in the previous year.
