SUDAN has opted to use the unified European currency, the euro, in its commercial transations as an alternative to the United States dollar. The Bank of Sudan said in a circular to various banks of the country, that “we are going to concentrate in the coming period on conducting commercial transactions in the euro as a currency expected to compete with the dollar. All foreign transactions of Sudan will accordingly be conducted in the euro,” said the circular signed by the Bank’s Deputy Governor, Zubair Ahmed.
