KHARTOUM, June 30, 2026 (SUNA) — Prime Minister Dr. Kamil Idris chaired an expanded meeting today, Tuesday, in Khartoum, which included the Ministers of Defense, Energy, and Trade and Industry, the Governor of the Central Bank of Sudan, the Special Representative of the Prime Minister Dr. Al-Hussein Al-Khalifa Al-Siddiq Al-Haffian, and the Prime Minister’s Adviser Nizar Abdullah Mohammed. Central Bank Governor Amina Mirghani stated in a press remark that the meeting reviewed the country’s economic situation, anti-smuggling policies for gold, and the informal circulation of currency, in addition to new policies aimed at addressing volatility in the exchange rate. She explained that the Central Bank of Sudan began, as of June 23, injecting foreign currency into the banking sector, amounting to about 400 million dirhams to meet import demands, noting that this step succeeded in reducing the exchange rate of the dirham against the Sudanese pound to 1,200, marking a significant shift and providing importers with their full requirements. The Central Bank Governor called on banks to adhere to import regulations and to submit all forms through the “Baldna” platform, as well as comply with the Ministry of Trade and Industry procedures and all government requirements to ensure that only genuine import requests are fulfilled, in order to prevent currency smuggling out of the country.BH/BH
