About the South Sudanese Pound
The South Sudanese pound was introduced in 2011 when South Sudan became independent from Sudan, replacing the Sudanese pound as the new country's own currency. Ongoing conflict, weak oil revenue (the country's dominant export), and limited economic diversification have driven severe, repeated depreciation and high inflation since independence, making the South Sudanese pound one of the most volatile currencies in Africa.
