Sudan faces a number of economic challenges. While US economic sanctions were lifted
in late 2017, Sudan remains a challenging place to do business. The economic situation
has been exacerbated by a shortage of foreign exchange which has resulted in fuel
shortages. Sudan is still unable to access international financial assistance, in
part due to its arrears to the International Monetary Fund and others and the failure
to service its debt. Politically, the UK continues to work with the Government of
Sudan to ensure that constitutional and political rights are respected. Sudan remains
a Human Rights Priority Country for the Foreign & Commonwealth Office. The UK
continues to encourage Sudan to undertake macroeconomic and political reforms, including
through the six-monthly Strategic Dialogue with the Government of Sudan.
