What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Money transfer fees through Bankak, the electronic banking application operated by Bank of Khartoum, have risen sharply in El Geneina, the capital of West Darfur. According to traders and residents, the fees reached around 50 percent. This increase has affected trade, contributed to rising commodity prices, and disrupted commercial activity in the city.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Traders in the region rely heavily on the Chadian franc for commercial transactions due to close trading links between West Darfur and Chad. The rising value of the Chadian franc relative to funds held through Bankak is driven by supply and demand, as well as the absence of functioning banks in the state.
