Readings are dated survey or bulletin figures, not a live feed. The date beside each reading is the date it describes.
The parallel and official exchange rates are different regimes and are never blended.
12 reference-corpus market records shipped for demonstration are excluded from this page.
Coverage is concentrated on Juba and the Nimule corridor.
Every item keeps the evidence state of its underlying record. How corrections are handled.

How to read this

Every figure on this page carries an evidence state — Verified, Operational, Announced, Estimated, Inferred, Disputed, Simulated, Reference or Unavailable — and each state has a stated definition. SSIP does not present an estimate as an observation, and it does not record a missing value as zero.
