Why Sudan?Sudan, The Largest African State, is nowadays seen as a promising country which has achieved the highest rate of growth in the last decade Due to being at the beginning of industrialization, Sudan is indeed land of investors and hence employed a line of incentives A tax exemption of up to 5 years is exercised in the country The sectors of agriculture, oil, gold mining, sugar, paper and construction are considered as those fields to be invested in Sudan, which is also a member of organizations such as the common market of east and west Africa countries (COMESA), Intergovernmental Authority for Development (IGAD) and community of Sahel and Desert countries, has begun to be one of the most attractive centers in the region thanks to revenues it has obtained from the export of oil, which new stand at half a million barrel per day Economy - Overview Sudan has turned around a struggling economy worth sound economic policies and infrastructure investments, but it still faces formidable economic problems, notably the low level of per capita output. From 1997 to date, Sudan has been implementing IMF macroeconomic reforms. In 1999 Sudan began exporting crude oil and in the last quarter of 1999 recorded it's first trade surplus, which, along with monetary policy, has stabilized the exchange rate. Increased oil production, revived light industry, and expanded export processing zones helped maintain GOP growth at 5.1% in 2002. Agriculture production remains Sudan's most important sector, employing 80% of the work force and contributing 43% of GOP, but most farms remain rain-fed and susceptible to drought. In May 2004, after signing Peace Accord, a huge development & international investment in all sector particularly in construction is strongly expected.
