Sudan's services employment rate has exhibited a moderate growth trajectory over the past three decades, with a notable peak in 2019 when the rate reached 48.27. However, the country's services employment rate has declined since then, standing at 46.24 in 2022, placing it at the 49th position globally. Notably, Sudan's services employment rate has not outpaced that of some of its peer countries, such as Thailand, which had a rate of 47.34 in 2022. The rate in 2022 is close to the all-time low of 37.66 reached in 1991, indicating that the country has made significant progress in this area. Ghana's services employment rate of 45.97 in 2022 is also a point of comparison, highlighting the need for Sudan to continue improving its services sector. The trajectory of Sudan's services employment rate may be influenced by the country's ongoing economic reforms and investment in the services sector, which could potentially alter its trajectory in the coming years.
