Overview
Sudan's credit to gdp stood at 2.74% in 2025, a decline of +2.90% from 2022. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 2.74% by 2025. Sudan ranked 155th globally.
Sudan's credit to GDP ratio has experienced significant fluctuations over the past six decades, reflecting the country's tumultuous economic history. The all-time peak of 13.74 in 1982, a period of relative economic stability under the Nimeiry regime, contrasts sharply with the all-time trough of 1.62 in 1999, a time of severe economic crisis following the collapse of the oil price and subsequent sanctions. Since then, the credit to GDP ratio has gradually increased, but remains below average globally, ranking 155th out of 193 countries in 2025, with a value of 2.74. Compared to its peers, Sudan's credit to GDP ratio lags behind Haiti's 3.25 and is marginally higher than São Tomé and Principe's 1.59. While the gradual increase in credit to GDP ratio is a positive trend, a significant improvement in the business environment, such as through improved governance and investment in infrastructure, would be necessary to sustain growth and alter the country's trajectory.
