Real GDP grew by 8.4 per cent in 2008, up from 10.2 per cent in 2007. The industrial sector accounted for 24.7 per cent of total GDP in 2007,
mainly due to oil production (17.2 per cent of GDP), which grew at 19 per cent in 2008. The manufacturing sub-sector grew by 4 per cent in 2008
compared to 2 per cent in 2007. Most successful industries are in food processing, notably sugar refining, as well as in arms and vehicle manufacturing.
The construction boom and increased demand for building material also contributed to growth in manufacturing output.
Your commentsThey're have agreements, if south decided to go independent that they'll share the benefits of oils. The south will get its share, don't forget that all the structures of oils company are in North. And I thought I was the snelsibe one. Thanks for setting me straight. |
The incumbent President Omar al-Bashir has been re-elected in Sudan's first multi party elections in 24 years. The national outcome, which was widely anticipated, comes after the withdrawal of many opposition parties and widespread evidence of vote rigging. In South Sudan, which is semi-autonomous and wants to be fully independent, Salva Kiir won the presidency, with more than ninety-per-cent of the vote. |
What do you think about the division of North and South?Your commentsNow will see what the South politiciens will do for the south populations. It's sad but if it'll be benefit both North and South that's ok! This dividsion is perfect.It is only unfortunate that it took so long and lives lost. Politics in the south will shape itself. What matters is the freedom of the south sudannese from neocolonilism. |
