Investment Ministry to Sudanhorizon: The War Does Not Prevent Investment in All Sectors

Sudanhorizon – Nazik Shammam

The Sudanese Ministry of Investment emphasized that the ongoing conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) does not prevent investment in various sectors.

In an exclusive statement to the Sudanhorizon news website, the Director of Promotion at the Ministry, Islam Salama, said:
“Investors can operate during wartime. The higher the risk, the higher the potential returns,” adding that some investors adhere to this principle.

He continued, “The current war was imposed on us, and the government is not a party to it.”

Salama revealed that the ministry is presenting a range of investment projects at the economic conference to be held tomorrow (Tuesday) in Port Sudan. The Blue Economy Initiative leads the projects involving investments in maritime activities, including fishing, marine exploration, mining, and petroleum.

He noted the existence of numerous national investment projects that have relocated from Khartoum to safer states under emergency laws. He stated, “These projects are operating normally, contributing to the economic process and providing revenue to the state treasury.”

The Director of Promotion affirmed the ministry’s openness to all investors willing to work under the current wartime conditions, pointing out that “investment opportunities are available in the safe states.”
