Sudan says to circulate new currency this month
Sudan's central bank said on Saturday it would begin circulating a new currency this month after South Sudan said it planned to create a currency of its own.
South Sudan, which declared independence on July 9 under a 2005 peace deal that ended decades of civil war, said on Monday it would begin circulating its previously announced South Sudan pound in the coming week, pegging it one-to-one with Sudan's existing pound. (Reuters)
