The Sudanese government is heading towards making a package of decisions in the upcoming period, as economic pressures and rising prices of food and consumer goods increase, along with the rising costs of land and air transport services.

Prime Minister Kamel Idris stated that the Sudanese Cabinet will hold more meetings in the upcoming period to make important decisions that serve the national interest, without revealing details of those decisions.

Idris explained that the last Cabinet meeting in the capital, Khartoum, discussed economic challenges and ways to alleviate the burdens on citizens, according to the Sudanese website "Al-Mashhad."

These statements come amid a state of public discontent due to the continuous rise in prices of food and consumer goods, along with the increase in costs of land and air transport services, at a time when the Sudanese pound continues to decline against foreign currencies in the parallel market.

The price of the US dollar in the parallel market witnessed a noticeable increase during September, rising from about 7,000 pounds at the beginning of the month to 8,200 pounds for sale and 7,900 pounds for purchase by mid-month.
