The country's economic performance declined drastically, reaching a trough of $3,636,000,000.00 in 2017, likely due to the ongoing civil war and resulting instability. Since then, the economy has begun to recover, with the latest GDP PPP value standing at $15,160,000,000.00 in 2025, ranking 150th globally. Compared to other countries, South Sudan's economic performance is comparable to that of Fiji, which holds the same rank with a GDP PPP of $15,192,000,000.00. The country's economic trajectory is expected to continue improving, contingent on the resolution of ongoing conflict and the implementation of effective economic policies, which would likely lead to increased foreign investment and economic growth.
