Sudan's remittances received have experienced significant fluctuations over the past five decades, with the country's all-time peak occurring in 2008 at 1,590,626,089.41. This value represents a substantial increase from the initial 1977 figure of 40,492,912.29, marking a 3,935% growth. Although remittances have declined since the peak, the country still ranks 87 globally, with a 2025 value of 1,209,842,194.48. Comparatively, neighboring Liberia has a similar ranking with a slightly higher value of 1,210,607,502.89. The South Sudanese independence in 2011 and subsequent economic instability have contributed to the decline in remittances. A recovery in the global economy and a stabilizing of the Sudanese economy could potentially alter the trajectory of remittances in the country, potentially leading to an increase in remittance flows in the coming years.
