How SDG works
The Sudanese pound is Sudan's national monetary unit and is used for local prices, public accounts, wages and domestic payment records.
The Central Bank of Sudan is responsible for currency issuance and monetary administration. The current pound is divided into 100 piastres and uses the ISO code SDG to distinguish it from earlier Sudanese units.
- The current SDG unit entered circulation in 2007 as part of a monetary reform.
- Sudan's currency history includes earlier pound systems and the Sudanese dinar used during the 1990s and 2000s.
Context
Why this currency matters
The code SDG identifies the post-2007 pound and prevents confusion with the Sudanese dinar or earlier pound scales. Political separation, inflation and changes in the domestic monetary environment make the date and source of a rate central to interpretation. CurrencyHub therefore treats the provider value as a dated reference rather than a promise of cash availability.
