During the Annual Spring Meetings currently being held in Washington, D.C., United States of America, Ms. Amina Mirghani, Governor of the Central Bank of Sudan and Head of the Sudanese delegation to the meetings, met with the Executive Director for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Alternate Executive Director for the Federal Republic of Germany, the Executive Director for the Russian Federation, and the Executive Director for the United Kingdom.

The meetings included briefings provided by the Governor to the Executive Directors on Sudan’s economic performance for the year 2025. She noted that the Sudanese economy has overcome the impacts of the 15 April 2023 war and has moved from a phase of shock to a phase of recovery, with most economic indicators showing noticeable improvement and leading to positive economic growth.

However, she pointed out that the recent American–Israeli–Iranian war has affected economic performance due to rising prices of petroleum products and imported strategic commodities, as well as increased transportation and maritime insurance costs driven by heightened conflict-related risks.

She further stated that the period following the outbreak of this conflict has posed significant challenges to the Sudanese economy, which relies entirely on its own domestic resources without any support or assistance from the international community.

The Governor called on the Executive Directors to support Sudan during the IMF Executive Board discussions, noting Sudan’s readiness to meet the requirements for re-engaging with IMF consultations and to move forward in completing the process of external debt relief under the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) Initiative.
