أثر التقلبات في أسعار صرف العملات الأجنبية على القطاع الصناعي في السودان (1960-1996)‎

Abstract EN

The study dealt with the impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on the industrial sector in Sudan 1960 -1996.

The importance of the study stems from the possibility of finding solutions through which developing countries can be rid of the problem of fluctuations, leading to re-development.

The problem of the study lies in the complexity of the problem of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and their intertwining and economic effects, which are represented in impeding development at the local level.

The study is based on the descriptive approach and inductive analysis by collecting and processing data and statistics related to the subject of the study.

The study concluded with several results, including: One of the characteristics of the international monetary system that played a role in its alignment is the rigid application of fixed exchange rates, and the problem of the dollar is what eventually led to the demise of the fixed exchange rate system.

And that the dependence of industries in developing countries in general, and Arab countries in particular, including Sudan, on imported materials such as equipment, machinery, spare parts and imported production inputs, made them vulnerable to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, and this led to poor utilization of energy and materials.

The maximum power is relatively low.

Also, most factories suffer from scarcity of foreign exchange resources needed to purchase those imported materials, which has led to fluctuations in productivity in some of them, such as the sugar industry in Sudan.
