Development of corruption in Sudan 2003 - 2021
The causes of corruption lie in part in political and cultural reasons. Ineffective law enforcement may further promote it. It is striking that it is regularly lower in democratically governed countries (form of government in Sudan: Presidential republic). Similarly, higher corruption occurs predominantly in low-income countries. In Sudan, per capita income is 530 US$ annually, which is extremely low by global standards. The cost of living is well below the global average, indicating massive socioeconomic problems.
