Government Pushes Finance Reforms And Sector Revivals

Khartoum, August 9, 2026 - Prime Minister Kamel Idris was briefed on public finance reforms and plans to revive key productive sectors, including national air and sea transport assets, Minister of State for Finance Mohamed Nour Abdeldaim said. The reform package includes an electronic public bidding platform, automated public sector payrolls and a unified treasury system aimed at improving transparency and state financial control.

The measures are intended to stabilize public finances as Sudan seeks to rebuild institutions amid the economic damage caused by the war. Abdeldaim said the government is coordinating with international institutions, including a roadmap with the International Monetary Fund toward debt relief under the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries initiative.

Sudan is also re-engaging with the World Bank on humanitarian support, an agricultural strategy and reconstruction planning. The agenda also prioritizes reviving major economic drivers, including livestock and national transport companies such as Sudan Airways, reflecting the government's effort to restore revenue-generating capacity and basic economic infrastructure.
