Sudanese Pound (SDG) to USD — Sudan Parallel Market Rate
By the ETCurrency rates deskUpdated hourly from P2P & exchange-market dataHow we calculate rates
As of October 19, 2026, one US dollar costs about 9,256 SDG on the Sudan parallel market, so the Sudanese Pound is worth roughly $0.00011 each. In practical terms, 1,000 SDG ≈ $0.10804 and 100,000 SDG ≈ $10.8 at the street rate, versus the official Central Bank of Sudan (CBoS) rate of about 459 SDG per dollar.
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?
Because the parallel market prices the dollar at about 9,256 SDG, you divide any Sudanese Pound amount by that figure to get its dollar value. For example, 10,000 SDG ≈ $1.08, 50,000 SDG ≈ $5.4, and 1,000,000 SDG ≈ $108.04. At the official rate the same Sudanese Pound would convert to slightly more dollars on paper — but only if you can actually access dollars at that rate.
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.
Today that difference is an extreme premium of roughly 1944.2%. The larger this gap, the more the official rate overstates what your Sudanese Pound is really worth in dollars.
