GDP (Gross Domestic Product): Sudan

Analysis# Sudan GDP (Gross Domestic Product) Sudan's economy stood at $39.474 billion in 2026, recovering modestly from recent lows but remaining well below its peak of $66.448 billion in 2011. Since 1980, the country has expanded its GDP by 334%, rising from just $2.245 billion. However, this long-term growth masks significant volatility, particularly over the past decade, as Sudan navigated political instability and economic reforms that compressed output substantially. The most striking shift occurred between 2011 and 2024, when GDP contracted by roughly 56%. A sharp drop from $48.906 billion (2017) to $29.184 billion (2024) underscores the severity of recent economic pressures. The 2026 projection of $39.474 billion suggests a tentative rebound trajectory, though Sudan's economy remains far from its historical highs and continues facing structural challenges that constrain sustained growth.
