Inflation in South Sudan

YIKES! 



SIXTY PERCENT inflation in South Sudan. That is pretty much crisis levels. Credit to the National Bureau of Statistics for getting the figures out so quickly. This is largely a reflection of how dependent South Sudan is on imports, as poor rains regionally have sent food prices soaring in Kenya and Uganda, and independence has caused disruption to Northern traders and at the border.
