The 7th Edition of the South Sudan Economic Monitor (SSEM), titled <strong>’A Pathway to Overcome the Crisis,'</strong> released today by the World Bank, provides a comprehensive assessment of the country’s economic challenges and the necessary steps for recovery. The report highlights that South Sudan’s economy is projected to contract by a staggering 30 percent in FY24/25 due to the disruption of oil production, which has significantly reduced export revenues. However, the economy is expected to rebound in FY25/26 if oil exports, particularly from the Dar Blend Oil, resume.
