South Sudan's exchange rate stood at 2,205.55 in 2025, a rise of +42.45 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 2,205.55 by 2025. South Sudan ranked 18th globally.
South Sudan's exchange rate has experienced significant fluctuations over the past 15 years, with its all-time peak of 2,205.55 in 2025, indicating a weakening of the South Sudanese pound against major currencies. Conversely, the all-time trough of 2.95 in 2014, suggests a period of relative stability. Since then, the exchange rate has been on an upward trajectory, surpassing its 2011 value of 2.99 and reaching a record high in 2025. Notably, South Sudan's exchange rate is outpaced by countries such as Tanzania, which boasts an exchange rate of 2,583.01, a reflection of the latter's more diversified economy. The recent surge in South Sudan's exchange rate could be attributed to factors such as inflation, economic instability, or external market fluctuations. However, a stabilization of the country's economy, coupled with a reduction in inflation and improved governance, could potentially lead to a more stable exchange rate in the future.
