(JUBA) – South Sudan’s official exchange rates released by the Bank of South Sudan for Monday, 28th July 2025, show modest but stable movements in the value of the South Sudanese Pound (SSP) against major global and regional currencies.
The exchange rate for the US Dollar, the country’s primary benchmark currency, remained relatively steady, with the selling rate at 4,592.83 SSP and the buying rate at 4,457.08 SSP. This reflects a minimal change from the 25th July rate of 4,598.60 SSP selling and 4,462.68 SSP buying.
The slight shift suggests that the SSP has maintained its strength despite regional and global market volatility, a positive sign for importers and market watchers in Juba and across the country. Traders and financial institutions continue to monitor daily rates closely for any signs of inflationary pressure or external economic impact.
The Euro, South Sudan’s second most referenced international currency, posted a selling rate of 5,394.27 SSP and buying at 5,233.95 SSP. Compared to the 25th July rate of 5,410.25 SSP (selling) and 5,249.90 SSP (buying), the Euro showed minor easing. This modest decline may reflect broader Eurozone softness and relative USD strength in global markets.
The British Pound (GBP) also recorded a slight drop, with the 28 July selling rate at 6,183.23 SSP and buying at 5,999.67 SSP, down from 6,232.95 SSP and 6,048.27 SSP respectively just three days earlier.
In the region, neighbouring currencies saw little change. The Kenyan Shilling (KSH) remained mostly unchanged, selling at 35.60 SSP and buying at 34.44 SSP, nearly identical to the 25th July figures. Similarly, the Ugandan Shilling (UGX) and Ethiopian Birr (ETB) posted negligible adjustments:
| Currency | Date | Selling Rate (SSP) | Buying Rate (SSP) |
|---|---|---|---|
| USD | 28 July 2025 | 4,592.83 (USD 1) | 4,457.08 (USD 1) |
| USD | 25 July 2025 | 4,598.60 | 4,462.68 |
| Euro | 28 July 2025 | 5,394.27 | 5,233.95 |
| GBP | 28 July 2025 | 6,183.23 | 5,999.67 |
| KSH | 28 July 2025 | 35.60 | 34.44 |
| UGX | 28 July 2025 | 1.28 | 1.24 |
| ETB | 28 July 2025 | 33.13 | 32.13 |
| RWF | 28 July 2025 | 3.19 | 3.07 |
| TZS | 28 July 2025 | 1.81 | 1.65 |
| BIF | 28 July 2025 | 1.57 | 1.50 |
While these changes are relatively minor, they are part of a broader picture of currency market adjustments across the Horn of Africa and East Africa.
Market analysts in Juba point to relative monetary discipline and a stable supply of foreign exchange from the Bank of South Sudan as contributing to the current calm in currency markets.
Despite external economic pressures and regional trade frictions, the SSP’s performance in recent weeks has shown signs of relative stability. However, traders remain cautious ahead of potential changes in fuel prices, cross border trade movements and international remittance flows, all of which could influence currency demand.
