Overview
Economic conditions in South Sudan during February 2026 remained fragile, shaped by currency volatility, high living costs, and continued dependence on oil revenue.
Prices & Inflation
Prices of essential goods remained elevated across major markets, reflecting import dependence, transport constraints, and currency depreciation.
Currency & Exchange Rate
The local currency continued to face pressure amid limited foreign exchange inflows and weak market confidence.
Oil & Public Finance
Oil revenues continued to underpin government finances, though transparency and fiscal planning challenges persisted.
Outlook
Short-term economic stability remains closely tied to political developments, security conditions, and management of oil revenues.
