		Sudan's failure to service its international debt, together with a poor human rights record, led, in 1993, to the World Bank suspending financing of 15 development projects, and to the IMF suspending Sudan's voting rights in the organization (they were restored in 2000).

		Petroleum discoveries in the south-central region of Sudan and their export in 1999 raised hopes of economic salvation; but until the political situation stabilizes, prospects are dim for significant improvement in the economy.
