August 18, 2026 (PEN) The Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning discussed with the United Nations Mission in Sudan ways to move from providing humanitarian aid to supporting early recovery and sustainable development, along with a number of priority economic issues.

This came during a meeting between the Minister of State at the Ministry of Finance, Mohamed Nour Abdel-Daim, and the Regional Director of the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, Zuzana Praxiona, where the two sides discussed financial reform, reform of economic systems, and the file of exempting Sudan’s external debts.
