Economy



Most people are surprised to learn that Sudan has one of the fastest growing economies in the world. It just goes to show what having large reserves of oil can do. For decades civil war has really hurt the economy in Sudan and it has only been recently that they have started to export oil. Despite the strong growth most of the people in Sudan remain very poor. Even strong growth will take a long time to help the average citizen when you are starting out as one of the poorest countries in the world. However the prospects for Sudan are promising since they have large reserves of other minerals besides oil.
