The Sudanese pound weakened further on Tuesday, with the U.S. dollar quoted around 3,580 pounds on the parallel market and edging toward 3,600, according to local rate trackers. The Saudi riyal traded near 954.7 pounds, the UAE dirham about 975.5, and the euro roughly 4,212, dealers said.
The official banking rate remains close to 600 pounds per dollar, underscoring a gap of about six times between formal and street markets.
Currency pressure has intensified during the war between the SAF and the Rapid Support Forces that erupted in April 2023, disrupting trade and finance and deepening the humanitarian crisis.
Some local outlets also linked recent moves in the parallel rate to a higher customs reference dollar, lifted this month to about 2,600 pounds, raising import costs.
Rates cited above are from the parallel market; official bank quotes can differ.
