South Sudan's Economy

South Sudan is dependent on the neighbouring economies for its supplies of food, construction materials and other consumer goods. Trade is liberalised in South Sudan, and the country is a fundamental trading partner for Uganda and Kenya. The major export of Sudan is crude petroleum. Other exports consist of gum Arabic as well. Due to food insecurity and the under-developed manufacturing industry, the country imports many items including foodstuffs, motorvehicles, machinery among others. In July 2011, the Republic of South Sudan became the world’s newest nation and Africa’s 55th country. The country is a member of the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) and the East African Community (EAC).

Employment in South Sudan

Employment agreements are made in either verbal or written formats in South Sudan, though many employees prefer a written agreement that outlines all details about their monthly wage, compensation, leaves and termination requirements. Employees are entitled to vacation, sick and parental leaves. South Sudan operates on a progressive tax framework based on yearly revenue. Income tax is between 0% to 20% on individual revenue. Bonuses for employees do not necessarily have to be paid as the labour laws do not define those. Notice periods depend on the length of service and job positions.

At Africa HR Solutions, we manage your HR outsourcing strategy to ensure your international expansion goals are met, and follow the country’s policies, laws, culture and norms. To ensure you attract the best talent, we devise a competitive compensation scheme to attract the best talent to your organisation in South Sudan.
