The dollar price exceeded 450 Sudanese pounds, while the official exchange rate reached 401 pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The director of the Policy and Research Department in the bank, Mustafa Muhammad Abdullah, said that the central bank has conducted financial transactions with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;cd=&amp;cad=rja&amp;uact=8&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjT7pXjnu3wAhVphv0HHfrRAOcQFjAAegQIAhAD&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.federalreserve.gov%2F&amp;usg=AOvVaw0TVqQRKlSvjzMprFsZYYcE\">US Federal Reserve<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The transaction will be organized gradually by an agreement to be concluded soon between the two sides, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Abdullah indicated that the loan funds provided to Sudan would enter the banking system. This would increase the hard currency reserves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bank did not disclose the size of the country&#8217;s foreign exchange reserves. But, it pledged to continue holding auctions regularly to cover the needs of customers. The bank scheduled the second auction, at a value of $50 million, on next Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Abdullah pointed out that the auction mechanism provides cash resources to importers to provide strategic goods. This would prevent any shortage in goods that would create a crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He indicated that the main objective of starting the auction is to eliminate fluctuations in the value of the national currency against foreign currencies on the black market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The strategy also aims at stabilizing the exchange rate until the implementation of the flexible exchange rate policy approved by the bank in its future policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Supervisory controls<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Abdullah confirmed that the Sudanese Central Bank approved &#8220;strict control procedures and controls to monitor the flow of funds into clients&#8217; accounts abroad in different currencies, to prevent foreign currencies from leaking to feed the black market at home&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to enter the auction, each customer must submit one application through a commercial bank, and put the equivalent amount in local cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe total bank purchases since the unification of the currency rate last March exceeded $1,200,000. The transfers were made from abroad through the banking system in the country,\u201d the bank official said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He explained that \u201cthe flows from international financial institutions to the Sudanese government will enter through the banking system, and help build reserves at the present time\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Keep reading: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bnreport.com\/en\/sudans-program-to-support-families\/\">Sudan\u2019s Program To Support Families Faces Difficulties<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sudan\u2019s Central Bank has conducted the first auction to sell foreign currency, at a value of $40 million, to customers through commercial banks to meet requests to import essential goods from abroad.
