10:10 am
well this conference comes at a time where sudan's economy is facing tough challenges not just because of the recent floodings which has devastated its economy or the coronavirus and demming which has also had an impact on the economy but that's devastation has happened even prior to the 4 and a virus and i mean we've seen the sudanese pounds continuing to devalue and lose its worth against the suit against the hard currency partly because the country has been repeatedly saying that it does not have foreign currency reserves now so dam has been on the list of u.s. states not sponsoring terrorism for more than 20 years and that has affected its relations with the outside world it's dealing with the international monetary fund and the world bank so that has had an impact on sudan's economy this is of course despite the country having vast agricultural lands having vast mineral resources now this current transitional government is saying that the reason why the economy
10:11 am
is in a downward spiral is because of the policies of the previous government which was ousted from power in april last year but people are saying that the policies of this new government of this transitional government which came to power last august has been not turned spare and has been very unclear and not suitable for the country now the 3 sides of the government and the sovereign council the executive council and the forces of freedom and change which has brought the executive council to power and are not. on the same page they have been differing about how the economic situation should be dealt with they're not on the same page in terms of the government lifting of subsidies in terms of the government trying to increase the salaries or or rather increasing the salaries of civil workers without having any collateral against that because they say that the government should have something that brings that foreign reserve so right now what this conference is trying to achieve is trying to bring together all the 3 sides of the government and of axes that are involved in sudan's economy to try to make sure that they're all
10:12 am
on the same page so that they can set a policy to improve the country's economy in the next hour i suspect in the meantime thank you very much have a morgan they're reporting live from that conference in. ok still to come here on this program for you we look at the bold moves by the president of afghanistan was breaking a long held taboo. and continue at the beijing auto show the 1st event of its kind to take place during the pandemic coming up next i'll tell you why global comic is so reliant on the chinese market. hello the weather has turned disappointedly cool at wet and windy across western parts of your loss of clouds swirling away here some big down poster same flooding
