Indicators of economy in Sudan

The essential economic performance of a country is reflected by the gross domestic product, the total of all goods and services sold. Worldwide gross domestic product in 2021 was at about 12,183 USD per capita. GDP in Sudan, on the other hand, reached USD 752 per capita, or 34.33 billion USD for the whole country. Sudan is therefore currently ranked 100 of the major economies. If this is calculated per inhabitant, taking purchasing power parity into account, then Sudan ranks 154th in the list of the richest countries.

Inflation in Sudan in 2021 was around 382.82%. Within the EU, the average in the same year was 9.22 percent. In the United States, it was most recently 8.00%.

The index for perceived corruption in the public sector is 22, which is rather poor by global standards.

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic

The consequences of the COVID pandemic in 2020 were considerable in Sudan. Overall, gross domestic product in 2020 fell from 32.34 billion US dollars to 27.03 billion US dollars. With a large drop of 16.40 percent, the economy in Sudan has struggled significantly more than other countries. The unemployment rate rose from 17.6 to 19.3 percent. The country's gross debt increased by 7.7 percent. The consumer inflation rate has risen from 51.0 percent previously to 150.3 percent now.

In 2021, there was already a recovery and the gross domestic product increased to 34.33 billion US dollars (=106.1% of 2019).

Income and purchasing power

The average monthly income in Sudan is 54 US Dollar per capita. In the USA, the figure is 5,911 US Dollar. However, the prices of consumer goods are also around 70.6 percent lower than in the USA. If you compare income and price levels, the result is a more expensive life in Sudan than in the United States. The bottom line is that the costs do not offset the lower income, and you get about 96.9 percent less.

However, it is also important to remember that this is a purely statistical model. Both the labor output and the type and quality of the goods received always correspond to the national average on both sides of the equation - so they do not necessarily have to match. Here you can also find an international comparison of cost of living and purchasing power.
