ABOUT SUDAN

About Sudan

 

Sudan is Africa’s third largest country, has the seventeenth highest GDP per capita and an annual growth rate of which most developed markets would be envious. From the industrial district of Bahry to the crowded street markets on Alhoriya Street, Sudan’s thriving population of more than 40 million people are as richly entrepreneurial as they are culturally diverse.

 

Now is a particularly exciting time for Sudan. After more than two decades in economic isolation, trade sanctions have been universally lifted and the true potential of its business environment, cultural heritage and regional importance can be realized. In an economy that is already 1.5 times the size of Kenya’s, an ambitious generation of entrepreneurs, students and investors is ready to drive forward a new wave of prosperous, sustainable development.

 

At its center lies Khartoum: one of the most affluent and vibrant capital cites in East Africa, brought to life by a thriving urban centre and a rapidly‐diversifying economy. Khartoum is as much a hub for growth and frontier sectors, like manufacturing, agriculture and healthcare, as it is for archaeology and art. Khartoum is ready to take its place as a new international exchange for cultural and business at the heart of East Africa.

 

The strength of Sudan’s private sector is reflected in the fast-improving, quickly-diversifying business environment. And despite two decades of isolation, Sudan has returned a consistent year-on-year rise within the World Bank’s ‘Ease of Doing Business’ report for the past 5 years, showing its resilience to unfavorable headwinds. Sudan can now fulfill its potential and develop new, strong relationships with domestic and foreign businesses alike. For pragmatic international investors, students with enquiring minds or tourists looking for unique experiences, the opportunities in Sudan are endless.

 

There has never been a better time to take part in building the future of economic, cultural and civic prosperity in Africa’s most exciting new regional exchange.
