SOUTH SUDAN ECONOMIC MONITOR SUMMARIZE

Global Context: Global slowdown persists due to geopolitical tensions and lingering COVID impacts, Sub-Saharan Africa faces weak growth amid trade shocks and climate events.
Domestic Economy: Growth stagnated (-0.4% in FY23/24), hampered by lower oil output (61% of GDP). Inflation improved due to exchange rate liberalization but remains fragile; floods and conflicts continue to strain agriculture and trade.
Monetary Policy: Central Bank tightened policy to curb inflation but faces challenges from high public debt and weak fiscal discipline, with risks of deficit monetization.
Fiscal Outlook: Heavy reliance on oil (84% of revenues) limits fiscal space; large financing gaps were reduced but risks include debt sustainability and humanitarian needs.
External Sector: Current account surplus supported by oil prices, but reserves are low (avg. 0.5 months imports), and Sudan conflict introduces shipping risks.

Nutrition: Chronic malnutrition (stunting, wasting) remains high (15.1% stunting), driven by conflict, poverty, and poor WASH access. Immediate needs include scaled emergency response, training of health workers, and a national nutrition strategy.
Education: Learning poverty is severe (94% of Grade 1 pupils unable to read), exacerbated by low funding, poor teacher training, and food insecurity. Key interventions: increase budget, adopt mother-tongue instruction, expand early childhood education, and tackle demand barriers like poverty.
System-Wide Challenges: Both health and education underfunded (Govt allocates ~4% of budget). Reforms require improved coordination, capacity building, and traditional infrastructure investment (energy, transport).

Growth: Modest recovery expected (2% medium-term), contingent on sustaining reforms, security, and peace agreement implementation.
Key Risks: Global oil volatility, ongoing Sudan conflict, flooding, debt distress, and slow political transition pose major threats.
