Government: Recent measures failed to reduce dollar prices

Khartoum-The Ministry of Finance has admitted that the measures taken to raise the value of the Sudanese pounds against the dollars did not work, saying that they only contributed in making the exchange rate stable in the past period.
The ministry of finance has expected a significant decreasing in the dollar prices against the Sudanese pound in the coming days due to the measures made by the ministry to control the price of dollars in the past period.
