What the numbers say
In 2025, Sudan's ICT service exports (BoP, current US$) rose 87.5% on 2024 (from US$16.31 million to US$30.59 million).

This year's change was 0.3 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 49,899.7% in 2024 and the biggest yearly fall was 96.4% in 2023. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2016 to 2025 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 25% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
