The meeting, which took place at the Central Bank of Sudan, focused on implementing previous decisions and discussing several economic and revenue-related issues. The committee is tasked with monitoring the country's economic performance and identifying areas for improvement.
The meeting reviewed the implementation of previous decisions, including proposals to attract savings from Sudanese expatriates and utilize them to support the national economy. According to Dr. Graham Abdel-Qader, spokesperson for the Ministry of Culture, Information, Antiquities, and Tourism, the committee discussed ways to encourage expatriates to invest their savings in Sudan. This initiative aims to boost the country's economy, which has faced significant challenges in recent years.
The committee also received a report from Interior Minister Gen. Babaker Suma Mustafa on the implementation of the unified window project at ports and border crossings.
