Central Bank of Sudan

Central Banks and Monetary Authorities

The Central Bank of Sudan is Sudan's central bank, established on February 22, 1960, four years after independence, building on the Sudan Currency Board created in 1957 and formed by nationalizing the National Bank of Egypt's Sudanese operations; it is headquartered on Al Jamhoria Street in Khartoum. Wholly state-owned, it mints coins, issues banknotes, and manages the Sudanese pound, and it has fostered Islamic banking practices since Sudan's adoption of Islamic law in 1984, replacing treasury bills and government bonds with Sharia-compliant financial certificates.
