Specifically, Sudan's near term strategy should focus on: a) developing and maintaining the necessary enabling environment for growth, specifically macroeconomic stability and effective fiscal management (chapter one); b) implementing policies aimed at improving the investment climate and broadening private sector- led growth (chapters two and five); c) increasing returns to the agriculture sector as the highest potential engine of growth and poverty reduction over the medium-term (chapter four); d) developing a comprehensive reconstruction plan for the South (chapter six); and e) complementing technocratic reforms with good governance.CC BY 3.0 IGOACCESSIBILITYADVERSE IMPACTAGRICULTURAL BANKAGRICULTURAL CREDITAGRICULTUREAUTOMOBILEBANK ASSETSBANK CREDITBANKING SECTORBANKING SECTORSBANKING SYSTEMBENCHMARKBOTTLENECKSBUSINESS CYCLECENTRAL BANKCOMMERCIAL BANKCOMMODITY PRICECOMMODITY PRICESCOMPARATIVE ADVANTAGECOMPARATIVE ADVANTAGESCOMPETITIVENESSCONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONSCONVENTIONAL BANKINGCREDIT ASSOCIATIONCREDIT MARKETCREDITORSCROWDING OUTCURRENCYCURRENT ACCOUNT DEFICITSDEBTDECENTRALIZATIONDEPOSITSDEVELOPED COUNTRIESDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT BANKDEVELOPMENT PROJECTSDIVISION OF LABORDOMESTIC ARREARSDOMESTIC BORROWINGDOMESTIC CONSUMPTIONDOMESTIC MARKETDRINKING WATERDRIVINGECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC CHANGEECONOMIC CONCENTRATIONECONOMIC CONSTRAINTSECONOMIC FACTORSECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC INTEGRATIONECONOMIC OUTLOOKECONOMIC PERFORMANCEECONOMIC TRANSACTIONSELECTRICITY GENERATIONENABLING ENVIRONMENTENTRY BARRIERENVIRONMENTALENVIRONMENTSEQUILIBRIUMEXCHANGE RATEEXCHANGE RATESEXPENDITUREEXPENDITURESEXPORT COMPETITIVENESSEXPORT GROWTHEXPORT PERFORMANCEEXPORTERSEXPORTSEXTERNAL DEBTFARMSFEDERAL BUDGETFINANCE CONSTRAINTFINANCIAL DEVELOPMENTFINANCIAL SECTORFISCAL DEFICITSFISCAL POLICYFISHERIESFORECASTSFOREIGN CURRENCYFOREIGN DEBTFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTFOREIGN EXCHANGEFOREIGN EXCHANGE RESERVESFOREIGN INVESTMENTFORESTRYFREE TRADEFREIGHTFREIGHT TRANSPORTFUELGDPGDP PER CAPITAGLOBAL ECONOMYGOVERNANCE ISSUESGOVERNMENT EXPENDITUREGOVERNMENT INVESTMENTGOVERNMENT INVOLVEMENTGOVERNMENT REVENUEGOVERNMENT SPENDINGGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTGROSS NATIONAL PRODUCTGROWTH POTENTIALGROWTH RATEHIGHWAYHIGHWAY AUTHORITYHOLDINGHOST COUNTRIESIMBALANCEINCOME LEVELSINCREASING RETURNSINEFFICIENCYINFLATIONINFLATION RATEINFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTINFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTSINFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTSINTERMEDIATE INPUTSINTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTINTERNATIONAL TRADEINVENTORYINVESTINGINVESTMENT CLIMATEINVESTMENT PROJECTSISLAMIC BANKINGISLAMIC BANKSISSUANCELAND POLICYLAND USELDCSLEGAL FRAMEWORKSLEGISLATIVE FRAMEWORKLESS DEVELOPED COUNTRIESLEVEL PLAYING FIELDLIQUIDITYLIQUIDITY PROBLEMSLIVING STANDARDLOCAL CURRENCYLOCAL SECURITYLONG-TERM INVESTMENTSMACROECONOMIC ADJUSTMENTMACROECONOMIC MANAGEMENTMACROECONOMIC STABILITYMACROECONOMIC VARIABLESMARKET INFORMATIONMARKET INTEGRATIONMICRO FINANCEMICRO FINANCE INSTITUTIONSMICROFINANCEMODE OF TRANSPORTATIONMONETARY FUNDMONOPOLIESNATIONAL ECONOMYNATURAL RESOURCENATURAL RESOURCESNON-PERFORMING LOANNON-PERFORMING LOANSNPLO&MOILOIL BOOMOIL BOOMSOIL EXPORTERSOIL PRICEOIL PRICESOIL RESERVEOIL RESERVESOIL REVENUESOIL SECTORPER CAPITA INCOMEPERMANENT INCOMEPOLICY ENVIRONMENTPOLICY INSTRUMENTSPOLITICAL ECONOMYPOLITICAL RISKSPOLITICAL STABILITYPOLITICAL UNCERTAINTYPORTFOLIOPORTFOLIO INFLOWSPOVERTY REDUCTIONPRIVATE CONSUMPTIONPRIVATE CREDITPRIVATE INVESTMENTPRIVATE SECTOR CREDITPRODUCTIVITYPRODUCTIVITY GROWTHPSPPUBLIC INVESTMENTPUBLIC INVESTMENTSPUBLIC SPENDINGRAILRAILWAYRAPID GROWTHREAL EXCHANGE RATEREAL GDPREFERENDUMREMITTANCESRESOURCE MANAGEMENTRETURNRISK PREMIUMROADROAD NETWORKRURAL FINANCERURAL ROADSSANITATIONSUSTAINABLE GROWTHTAXTAXATIONTELECOMMUNICATIONSTERMS OF TRADETOTAL FACTOR PRODUCTIVITYTOTAL FACTOR PRODUCTIVITY GROWTHTRADINGTRAFFICTRAFFIC VOLUMESTRANSACTIONTRANSACTION COSTSTRANSITTRANSPARENCYTRANSPORTTRANSPORT COSTSTRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORT RATESTRANSPORT SERVICESTRUST FUNDURBAN ROADSVALUE ADDEDWAGESWEALTHWEALTH EFFECTWORLD ECONOMYWorld Bank10.1596/3183
