The Diagnostic Trade Integration Study
(DTIS) update identifies priority actions in support of the
Government of Sudan (GOS) commitment to increase trade and
diversify the economy. The current study builds on the
earlier 2008 DTIS by identifying the major factors holding
back the increase of agricultural exports and economic
diversification. The report identifies a package of measures
that will support Sudan to more effectively realize its
economic potential. The DTIS Update presents an updated
action matrix that summarizes the recommended policy
reforms. This matrix was validated with a wide variety of
stakeholders in Khartoum in September 2014. Together, the
action points will contribute to reducing trade costs,
thereby enabling Sudanese enterprises and farmers to compete
more successfully in regional and global markets and realize
the GOS objectives of expanding and diversifying exports for
increased economic growth. The recommendations accept that
any changes in tariff schedules should be ‘revenue neutral,’
given the existing challenging fiscal situation.
