Government Issues New Economic Decisions
The Economic Committee held a meeting on Monday in Port Sudan, chaired by Prime Minister Dr. Kamal Idris, to follow up on the implementation of previous resolutions and in accordance with Decision No. (132).
The committee assigned the Central Bank of Sudan to open outlets in production markets to purchase gold at the international stock exchange price, while the Sudanese Standards and Metrology Organization was tasked with calibration and inspection duties.
It also decided to form a subcommittee headed by the Minister of Finance to oversee the execution of its resolutions, and directed the security agencies to establish a joint force—granted the necessary support—to carry out its role in protecting the national economy.
The meeting emphasized the urgency of enacting and enforcing legislation to combat smuggling, describing it as a crime that undermines national security. It also stressed full compliance with the committee’s decisions regarding the ban on imports via “wooden pallets” and adherence to car import regulations.
