Al-Awadi added, “The Sudanese will discuss the issue of banks and the economic and administrative reform of financial institutions and banks, as well as the dollar file,” explaining that “the price of the dollar ranged within the range of 147 thousand dinars for every 100 dollars during the short period at a time when the government took over its duties and the price of the dollar against the dinar was approaching.” From 148 thousand, meaning that the price is lower than before.”
He stressed that “the solution to the dollar crisis does not come with the push of a button. Rather, it requires economic reforms and includes many aspects, including political and economic ones. It needs a period to regulate the banks and reap the fruits of the central bank’s packages and the government’s decisions, which as a whole have begun to bear fruit through a gradual decline in the exchange rate of the dollar against the dinar.” “, stressing that “there are assurances from the economic team supervising the issue, and we expect that the situation of the dinar will be better in the future.”
