South Sudan 1 article

The structure of South Sudan's economy reflects South Sudan oil production, Juba commercial activity and landlocked East African economy, creating a distinctive mix of production and trade. A second layer of the economy comes from Nile transport constraints and regional pipeline dependence, where transport, trade and regional connectivity meet. Further context comes from post-conflict state building and South Sudanese pound, which help define the country's monetary, logistical or regional setting.
