Analysis# South Sudan, Republic of National Savings
South Sudan's national savings stood at 23.244% of GDP in 2026, recovering modestly from recent lows but remaining far below its 2021 peak of 60.975%. Since 2011, the country has experienced a net decline of 1.5 percentage points, with savings oscillating between -5.176% (2012) and the exceptional 2021 surge. The current level reflects moderate stabilization after years of economic volatility.
The most striking pattern emerges between 2017 and 2024, when savings collapsed from 45.306% to just 0.502%—a catastrophic 98% drop in seven years. This precipitous decline aligns with South Sudan's severe economic and political instability. The 2021 spike suggests temporary recovery, but subsequent years reveal persistent weakness. The 2026 figure of 23.244% indicates partial rebound, though sustainability remains uncertain given the country's structural economic challenges.
