Sudanese Prime Minister Kamel Idris said the government has directed the Finance Ministry not to borrow from the Central Bank of Sudan or resort to printing currency. He said the move is part of a plan to contain inflation, achieve economic stability and improve the Sudanese pound’s exchange rate against foreign currencies. In remarks reported by Al Jazeera Net, Idris warned about the danger organized smuggling networks pose to security. He also announced new measures to control the pound and combat gold smuggling.
