Traders on the parallel forex market are returning to the days before the ousting of President Omar Al Bashir. On Tuesday, the Dollar exchange rate on the parallel market ranged between SDG523 and 540, while the official rate ranges between SDG443 and 446. In an interview with Radio Dabanga, economic expert Prof Hasan Bashir, attributed the confusion in the decisions to increased prices and fees because they are carried out outside the framework of the institution without studying the consequences, pointing to the absence of a government and the existence of multiple centres making decisions. He described the current economic situation in the country as “dark and dire”, warning against “reaching a dead end”.
