The South Sudanese Pound (SSP) remains relatively stable, with small fluctuations against major regional and international currencies including the US Dollar, Euro and Kenyan Shilling.
According to the Central Bank’s daily bulletin, the US Dollar was listed at a selling rate of SSP 4,602.33 and a buying rate of SSP 4,466.30, marking a slight rise from Monday’s figures where the selling rate stood at SSP 4,597.75 and the buying rate at SSP 4,461.85. In dollar terms, the change reflects a modest movement of about $1 = SSP 4,602 (official rate), equivalent to 1 SSP = $0.000217.

Although daily forex rates are largely stable, higher unofficial (parallel market) rates may exist, particularly in border towns and informal markets. These alternative rates are often influenced by demand and access to hard currency, with some reports placing the dollar at significantly higher values outside official channels.
The forex rate bulletin, which is published daily on the Bank of South Sudan website, serves as a guide for commercial banks, forex bureaus, and businesses operating in South Sudan’s growing but fragile economy.
