Quote: High inflation and unemployment underpin Sudan’s limited macroeconomic fundamentals Sudan’s unsound macroeconomic fundamentals are reflected in the high levels of unemployment, which amount to 18% of the labour force – and inflation, which is 7%. Sudan’s domestic saving is moderate while its domestic consumption measured by household expenditure remains low at 23% of GDP, implying an inadequate domestic market. Low capital per worker places Sudan in the bottom quintile of physical capital rankings. The net interest margin is 8.4 percentage points, indicating an inefficient and uncompetitive banking sector. The Sudanese economy is highly dependent on the export of raw materials with a concentration rate of 81%, placing the country in the bottom 10 percentile, internationally, on this variable. Foreign direct investment is also low and Sudan’s capacity to earn foreign currency is very weak as its low ratio of export revenues to the cost of imports indicates.
