The Bank of South Sudan (BoSS) has released its latest official exchange rates for Thursday, 10th July 2025, showing that the South Sudanese Pound (SSP) has continued to weaken against major global currencies including the US Dollar, Euro and British Pound.
The US Dollar, used widely for trade and savings across South Sudan, is now selling at SSP 4,605.75 and buying at SSP 4,469.62. This represents a steady depreciation of the local currency.
The new rates are expected to influence fuel prices, import costs and consumer goods, especially in urban centres such as Juba, Wau and Malakal where the dollar dominates transactions.
The Euro has risen even higher, selling at SSP 5,412.21 and buying at SSP 5,251.35. Meanwhile, the British Pound remains the strongest among the listed currencies, selling at SSP 6,269.80 and buying at SSP 6,083.60. These figures reflect South Sudan’s dependence on foreign imports and the high cost of converting local currency for international payments.
The updated figures also include regional currencies such as the Kenyan Shilling (KSH), Ugandan Shilling (UGX), Sudanese Pound (SDG), Ethiopian Birr (ETB), and others. The Kenyan Shilling is now selling at SSP 35.70, the Ugandan Shilling at SSP 1.28 and the Ethiopian Birr at SSP 33.80.
These changes will affect South Sudanese traders who operate in neighbouring countries, as well as cross border business communities along the Nimule, Kaya, and Nadapal corridors. Prices of imported food, fuel, construction materials and school supplies may also be affected.
Below is a summary of the official exchange rates as published by the Bank of South Sudan:
