Analysis# Sudan Real GDP Growth
Sudan's real GDP growth reached 9.5% in 2026, marking a dramatic recovery from the catastrophic contraction of -23.4% in 2024. The current trajectory remains far below the country's all-time peak of 10.9% in 2001, though it represents a sharp reversal from recent devastation. Since 1980, Sudan's cumulative growth stands at 280%, reflecting substantial long-term economic expansion despite pronounced volatility.
The period from 2023 to 2024 represents Sudan's most severe economic collapse on record, with consecutive years of -20.8% and -23.4% contraction. Recovery began in 2025 with 3.2% growth, accelerating to 9.5% by 2026. This rebound suggests stabilization following acute crisis, though sustained growth rates will determine whether Sudan establishes genuine economic recovery or faces renewed instability in coming years.
