KHARTOUM, Feb. 6 (Xinhua) -- Sudan's inflation rate in January declined to 43.6 percent, Sudan's Central Bureau of Statistics announced Wednesday.
"The inflation rate in Sudan declined to 43.6 percent in January compared to 44.4 percent in last December," said a report by the bureau.
Sudan has been suffering from an economic crisis after losing most of its oil revenues following a separation with South Sudan in 2011.
Sudan's oil production was down to 120,000 barrels from 500,000 per day after the declaration of South Sudan's independence.
However, the country's oil production mounted to 136,000 barrels later after two new wells started running.
Last December, Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir inaugurated Um Hadeed oil well in the East Darfur State, and Al-Najma oil well was launched in the same month in the South Kordofan State.
