Southern Sudan To Receive The New Currency

Newly independent Southern Sudan has pledged to monitor the operation of the new state until a fully constituted government. At present the country is functioning under an interim cabinet which consists of ministers from its old partially self-governing administration. They, along with the country's first President Salva Kiir, took the oath of office together and vowed to serve the people of South Sudan.

The new currency, Southern Sudan pound shall be the same value of the existing Sudanese pound, which continue to circulate in the north.
