Sudanhorizon – Almohagig – Nazik Shamam

The Minister of Investment and International Cooperation, Ahlam Mehdi Sabeel, revealed that her ministry received several investment requests after the April 15, 2023 war.

She said: “Despite the war, we continued to receive requests for investment, which is progressing well.”

In a statement to the Almohagig News website, the Sudanese minister denied canceling any investment projects after the war, stressing that the government seeks to attract many investments to Sudan, especially after providing many incentives, guarantees, and privileges.

She added, “The war was a greater incentive for several investors and was not an opponent to attract more national investments.”

The Minister acknowledged that investment projects in Khartoum State were affected by the war through financing or the lack of production inputs and means of movement, but she stressed that her ministry spares no effort in attracting investors to invest in Sudan and developing plans that keep pace with the post-war stage.

Ahlam described the investment sector as promising, which could help in reconstructing Sudan in the post-war period.

She stressed the Ministry’s participation in a number of investment events, the most recent of which was the COMESA Investment Forum in the Republic of Tunisia, announcing the signing of a cooperation agreement with Tunisia in the near future.

She pointed to continuing to attract qualitative investment partnerships that would accelerate the economy and rebuild what was destroyed by the war, especially in infrastructure projects and renewable energies.
