Paris meeting adds bright spots to mixed Sudan outlook

Significance

Meanwhile, Sudan seized the opportunity to present itself as a foreign direct investment (FDI) destination by showcasing investment projects worth billions of dollars.

Impacts

• FDI inflows will increase, but a more robust uptick is unlikely until political and economic uncertainty fades.
• Donor inflows will increase significantly following the World Bank’s announcement of USD2bn in grants over the next ten months.
• Growth will turn positive this year, following three years of recession.
