War driven energy shocks worsen Sudan economic crisis: IMF

Sudan faces mounting economic pressure as war-driven energy shocks deepen hardship and threaten to worsen an already severe humanitarian crisis.

The International Monetary Fund warned that surging oil prices and regional instability are fuelling inflation in vulnerable economies.

Higher energy costs are expected to strain public finances, while pushing basic goods further out of reach for many households.

Jihad Azour said uncertainty surrounding the conflict’s duration and outcome continues to cloud economic prospects across affected regions.

He warned that prolonged instability could intensify existing vulnerabilities, leaving countries like Sudan increasingly exposed to external shocks.
