With one of the highest inflation rates in the world, the country risks slipping into hyperinflation unless it gets its budget deficit and money supply under control, economists say.
They say it has been driven by food, beverages, fuel and a black market for U.S. dollars, and became a factor in driving out autocrat Omar al-Bashir last year.
Since his ousting, the economy has worsened as a weak transitional government has struggled to start economic reforms and halt a fall in the Sudanese pound on the black market.
Prices in rural areas rose most sharply, with November inflation at 276.81% versus 225.37% in cities.
