Findings published during Q3 2026 documented sustained declines in Sudan’s income and household spending per person through 2024. GNI per person at purchasing-power parity at constant prices fell for 4 straight years, from $3,200 in 2020 to $1,800 in 2024, a decline of 44%.
Household spending per person at constant prices fell for 8 straight years, from $1,123 in 2016 to $519 in 2024, down 54%. An earlier GDP finding, subsequently replaced by a newer version, recorded a sustained decreasing trend over 9 consecutive years: GDP per capita at PPP in constant 2021 international dollars decreased from 4.2K in 2016 to 1.9K in 2024, a decline of 55.4%.
Agricultural CO2 emissions moved in the opposite direction. They rose for 4 straight years, from 48,100 tonnes of CO2e in 2020 to 318,900 in 2024, reaching nearly seven times their 2020 level. Over those same years, GNI per person fell. Taken together, the quarter’s published findings documented declining per-person economic measures alongside rising agricultural emissions, rather than changes measured within Q3 2026 itself.
The findings were statistically detected from multilateral-source data and checked before publication; the supplied material did not identify those sources by name. The brief covered findings published during Q3 2026.
