Banking Expert: The Investment Forum in Nile River State Should Consider the Large Potential in Localities

Banking expert and Director of the Savings and Development Bank in Shendi, Yasser Al-Jumari, stated that the upcoming investment forum in Nile River State, scheduled for the last week of this month, represents a foundational step to establish an investment map that will lay solid foundations for utilizing all agricultural, mineral, livestock, and fishery resources, among others, to develop the state and Sudan.

He added that the seven localities of the state enjoy significant potential in various natural resources, especially agricultural lands that could exceed 9 million feddans suitable for investment. He emphasized that considering the capabilities of the localities could ensure a fair and diversified distribution of investments.

Al-Jumari affirmed that Nile River State is the most suitable in Sudan for transformative manufacturing, which would increase the value of these resources, especially in agricultural production.

He called for taking advantage of the recommendations from previous forums, which had been held earlier.

He also noted that international and regional participation in the forum could provide an opportunity to explore global experiences that would enhance optimal use of the country’s natural resources.
