South Sudan, with a population of around 12 million and a GDP of approximately $4 billion in 2023, is heavily reliant on oil exports. The per capita income is about $300.
The country’s economy is challenged by ongoing political instability and conflict. South Sudan is focusing on rebuilding infrastructure and diversifying its economy.
Opportunities for foreign direct investment (FDI) exist in oil, mining, and infrastructure, though the business environment remains difficult due to instability and lack of development.
