Sudan Country Analysis Brief
Nov 23, 2010
Oil plays an important role in the Sudanese economy, representing about 90 percent of total export earnings and a significant share of government revenue, particularly for the South. As part of the agreement that ended the North/South civil war in 2005, two referenda are scheduled for January 2011 the first to determine if the South, the main oil producing region, will secede from the North and the second will be held by Abyei, a significant oil producing region on the border, to determine which side it will join. The uncertainty regarding these referenda and concerns that delayed or disputed voting and/or further conflict could lead to additional sanctions have kept the oil industry from further development. For additional information on the oil industry in Sudan, please see our updated Country Analysis Brief.
