| Comments |
Sudan's currency situation since the 2019 political transition has been severe — chronic dollar shortages, parallel exchange markets running at multiples of the official rate, and IMF-estimated inflation that peaked above 300% annually. High-denomination notes have been introduced repeatedly in short cycles simply to keep pace with purchasing power collapse, making each new ceiling denomination obsolete within months of issue.
The Sudan Currency Printing Press has handled domestic production since the mid-1990s, limiting dependence on foreign printers but also limiting the sophistication of available security features. A watermark-only security profile on a 500-pound note in 2025 is notably sparse.
