There is potential for every nation to become a great one at the moment. Sudan is a developing country in eastern Africa whose economy as been rapidly expanding off of its natural resource exports, mainly crude oil. Sudan has the potential previously stated. With several decisions and policies, Sudan could be on its way to the most economically sound country in Africa. While a lot of the country is under the poverty line. However, the somewhat recent exportation of crude oil has led to an economic expansion that has supported the country through rough times. Although a lot of untapped crude oil was lost in the split with South Sudan, this country can still ride on the back of oil money all the way to industrialization.
With the aid of wealthier countries, the infrastructure of Sudan could be built to last. After many actions are made to stabilize unrest and corruption, the infrastructure of the economy will be able to withstand and withhold the rapidly expanding economy. With smart investments, social security could become a main goal in this country while poverty is high. An increase in industrial processes, sustainable energy and resource use, and human capital is a main goal of mine that will have great effects on this country's economy. A larger focus onto education will prepare the citizens of Sudan for a life hopefully different than their majorly agricultural parents'. The future of Sudan looks bright, and this is the year to prove it.
