The rates show that major currencies like the Euro and British Pound continue to maintain high values against the SSP, with the Euro selling at SSP 5,411.49 and the Pound at SSP 6,278.63.
These figures reflect the ongoing challenges facing South Sudan’s economy, including high demand for hard currency and relatively low exports.
These exchange rates have a direct impact on the cost of imported goods, cross-border trade and the purchasing power of ordinary citizens. Business owners, importers and NGOs operating in South Sudan are particularly sensitive to such shifts, which influence fuel costs, food prices and service delivery.
Much as the Central Bank continues to publish daily exchange rates to help stabilise the forex market and guide trading, market observers will note that parallel market rates often diverge significantly from official rates to reflect supply and demand realities on the ground.
Traders can access the latest information via the central bank’s official website at where daily updates are posted or the South Sudan business news portal, which publishes live foreign exchange rates in official and parallel markets.
