Sudanese Pound (SDG) to USD — Sudan Parallel Market Rate
By the ETCurrency rates deskUpdated hourly from P2P & exchange-market dataHow we calculate rates
This page shows how much the Sudanese Pound (SDG) is worth in US dollars at Sudan's parallel — or "black market" — exchange rate, updated through the day. It is the reverse of our USD to SDG page and reflects what your Sudanese Pound actually fetches in dollars on the street.
War and economic collapse have pushed Sudan's parallel market far ahead of any official rate, making the street price the one most people actually use.
How much is the Sudanese Pound worth in US dollars today?
To convert Sudanese Pound into dollars you divide the amount by the number of SDG it takes to buy one dollar. When the parallel rate is weaker than the official one, each Sudanese Pound buys fewer real dollars than the headline official rate implies.
This is why the parallel rate matters for anyone holding Sudanese Pound: it shows the real, market-clearing dollar value rather than an official rate that may be hard to obtain.
Why the SDG to USD street rate differs from the bank
When you convert Sudanese Pound to dollars at a bank, you get the official Central Bank of Sudan (CBoS) rate — if dollars are available. On the parallel market the dollar is dearer, driven by factors such as conflict and disruption, runaway inflation, severe dollar scarcity, so each Sudanese Pound fetches fewer dollars there.
The larger the gap between the two rates, the more the official rate overstates what your Sudanese Pound is really worth in dollars.
