Sudan: PPG, commercial banks (NFL, current US$)

Key figures

Since 1970 it is up 100% from −US$3.4 million in 1970. The World Bank has no value for 32 of the years in between; the chart leaves those gaps open rather than joining across them.

What the numbers say

In 2024, Sudan's PPG, commercial banks (NFL, current US$) did not change US$0 on 2023 (from US$0 to US$0).

Across the 18 yearly changes before that (1971 to 2023), the average change was +US$11.8 million and a typical year strayed about US$51.66 million from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.2 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 US$101.16 million in 1974 and the biggest yearly fall was US$115.95 million in 1975. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
