Abstract

This study examined the impact of government current spending on inflation rates in Sudan during the period (2000 - 2023). The study aimed to identity the relationship between government current Spending and inflation rates and to high light the extent of the impact of government current Spending on Inflation rates in Sudan during the study period. The research problem was addressed through several questions, the most important of which were: is there a relationship between government current Spending and inflation rates in Sudan during the study period? What is the nature of this relationship? And how does government current Spending affect inflation rates? The study employed a descriptive-analytical approach and econometric methods to analyse the data. Data were collected from secondary sources, including books, references, and the annual reports of the Central Bank of Sudan and the Central Bureau of Statistics. The study reached several conclusions, the most important of which were: a direct relationship between government current spending and inflation rates, and also a long-term equilibrium relationship between government spending and inflation rates. The study recommended several measures, the most important of which were: the necessity of direct ing government current spending towards productive sectors and infrastructure instead of productive spending, and the need to rationalize and control government current spending and reduce waste.
