Overview

Sudan's GDP growth rate has exhibited significant fluctuations over the past six and a half decades, reflecting the country's tumultuous economic history. At its peak in 1997, Sudan's GDP growth rate reached 18.31%, a period that coincided with the country's oil discovery and subsequent economic boom. Conversely, the most recent economic downturn has led to a GDP growth rate of -29.43% in 2023, a stark contrast to the current growth rate of 3.23%, ranking Sudan 80th globally as of 2025. A comparison with peer countries reveals that Sudan's current growth rate is comparable to that of Poland, which also recorded a growth rate of 3.24% in 2025. However, the country's economic trajectory remains uncertain, and a sustained recovery is contingent upon the resolution of ongoing conflicts and the stabilization of the macroeconomic environment. If Sudan achieves a durable peace agreement and implements sound economic policies, it is possible that the country's GDP growth rate could stabilize and potentially surpass its regional peers.
