Sudan's central bank to withdraw old 500-pound notes by year-end
Original: Sudan’s central bank to withdraw old 500-pound notes by year-end
Sudan's central bank has announced it will withdraw the old 500-pound banknotes from circulation by the end of the year. The move is part of the country's ongoing currency management amid a deep economic and humanitarian crisis caused by the war between the army and the Rapid Support Forces. Sudanese are watching for how the deadline will affect cash availability and daily transactions.
Why now: The war in Sudan has badly disrupted banking and cash supplies, so any change to the currency directly affects people's daily lives.
