The report revealed that the government had fulfilled all obligations related to supporting the war effort, fully paid compensation for employees of federal government units, and settled pension obligations up to December 2025, in addition to covering part of pension arrears for 2024.
It also confirmed the disbursement of state transfers for 2025 in accordance with available resources and approved mechanisms, as well as support for health, water, and food services for displaced populations in the states.
The government also met its obligations to the health sector, including medicine subsidies and health insurance, and paid allocations for higher education, universities, and media institutions up to December 2025, in addition to financing federal government operations.

While chairing the joint meeting between the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank at the Ministries Complex in Port Sudan, Dr. Jibril Ibrahim announced the closure of temporary accounts opened during the emergency period, confirming that transactions would henceforth be conducted through the ministry’s accounts at the Central Bank’s Khartoum branch.
He stressed the importance of full coordination and integration between fiscal and monetary policies to achieve national economic objectives and strengthen economic resilience, noting that significant achievements had been made quietly despite expectations of economic collapse due to the war.
The minister projected an increase in revenues in 2026 through continued digitalization of financial and banking operations to improve performance and meet rising expenditures. He emphasized efforts to expand revenue bases, rely on real resources to reduce borrowing from the Central Bank, control inflation, and ensure revenues flow through official banking channels.
