In a promising development for the South Sudanese economy, trade relations with neighboring countries have significantly improved. The South Sudan-Uganda Trade Agreement has boosted imports and exports, especially in the sectors of agriculture and construction materials. In addition, trade routes between South Sudan and Kenya have seen a considerable increase in activity. Local farmers are gaining greater access to markets, and businesses in South Sudan are benefiting from cheaper and more reliable imports. As regional trade intensifies, there are growing expectations that this will help stabilize the local currency and create more job opportunities for South Sudanese citizens.
