Governor of the Central Bank of Sudan, Amna Mergani, attributed the current rise in the exchange rate to declining production, the destruction of infrastructure, and numerous other factors resulting from the war.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Speaking at an expanded meeting held this morning at the Central Bank’s headquarters in Khartoum with Sovereignty Council member Lieutenant General Ibrahim Jaber, the directors-general of banks, the head of the Banking Union, and directors-general of the Central Bank’s various departments, she said: “The Central Bank has made, and continues to make, considerable efforts to control the exchange rate.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

She pointed to the significant challenges facing the country amid the ongoing war, stressing that just as the Armed Forces are fighting the enemy with weapons, the banking sector is working to confront economic warfare.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The governor also noted that the Central Bank’s 2026 plan focused on several strategic priorities, foremost among them digital transformation, financial inclusion, and banking sector reform. She revealed that banks had managed to remain resilient and maintain established standards.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The meeting also addressed internal problems facing the banking sector, particularly governance, the reform programme, and combating money laundering. It highlighted the strong response from correspondent banks in China, T\u00fcrkiye, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The meeting further reviewed the challenges confronting banks, including the gap in export proceeds, the need to activate banking applications, and the integration of the Siraj system. The governor announced that the clearing system would operate at full capacity starting next Sunday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the same context, the head of the Banking Union confirmed that 90 per cent of banks were now conducting business within Khartoum State and continuously providing services to the public. He pointed to the significant role played by the return of banks to the capital, describing it as a contribution first to the Battle of Dignity and resilience, and subsequently to the recovery process.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The meeting also discussed electronic payments, the development of the digital transformation system, the expansion of point-of-sale terminals, mobile payments, and facilitating citizens’ access to financial services.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sovereignty Council member Ibrahim Jaber Ibrahim urged banks to make further efforts towards establishing digital banking services for citizens, affirming that coordination would continue to overcome the obstacles facing the banking sector.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
