Public Debt Management
Strengthening Core Debt Management Functions (June 7-11)
The staff of the General Directorate of Public Debt and the Central Bank of Sudan enhanced their understanding of core public debt management concepts, including debt portfolio analysis, cost and risk assessment, loan concessionality, and debt recording and reporting practices. The mission strengthened knowledge of institutional and operational frameworks for debt management and promoted a shared understanding of the respective roles of the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank. Discussions helped identify priority capacity development needs, particularly in middle-office functions, debt reporting, and debt portfolio risk management. The mission also supported greater alignment on the importance of strengthening coordination and information sharing between the two institutions to maintain a comprehensive and up-to-date external debt database. Both teams underscored the need for sustained technical assistance and a structured capacity development plan, particularly in preparation for post-conflict debt management challenges and future domestic debt market operations.

Development of the Treasury Single Account Concept Note (June and July 2026)
The authorities prepared a revised version of the Treasury Single Account Concept Note (TSACN) to strengthen the content of the preliminary draft developed during the Cairo workshop in April 2026. The revised version aims to ensure that the inclusion within the TSA system of different types of extra-budgetary funds and sub-national levels of government is well-reflected and required prerequisites are identified. A third round of review is on-going to ensure that the TSACN is an effective tool to build consensus around the TSA Reform and mobilize the required resources.
