Sudan’s annual inflation slowed to 258.40% in February, from 259.8% in January, the statistics bureau said on Tuesday.

The transportation group recorded the highest contribution rate to the monthly inflation rate, amounting to 87.13%, due to the rise in fuel prices.

The food and beverage group came next at 4%, followed by the total of household fixtures and equipment and routine maintenance work at 3.07%, due to the rise in the prices of cement and other household maintenance equipment.

The rate pf housing, water, electricity, gas, and other types of fuel group recorded 1.84%, due to a rise in electricity tariff and gas prices, in addition to a group of various goods and services at 1.26%.

Saudi Aramco announced on Thursday the inauguration of the regional center for sustainable fishery development, Arabian Gulf branch, in cooperation with the Ministry of Energy and the Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture.

Through this collaboration, Saudi Aramco aims to highlight its investments in citizenship initiatives and its efforts to drive economic growth, support local fishermen and their livelihoods, build expertise, and adopt the best practices to enhance production and cultivate fish of marketable sizes that can compete globally.

The center is part of the company's broader efforts to protect marine life in the Arabian Gulf. It involves the establishment of a fish hatchery on Abu Ali Island in Jubail, located on the Arabian Gulf coast, designed to produce local fish species that have experienced population declines due to fishing practices and to reintroduce them into Gulf waters.

The center's operations are designed to encompass the complete fish life cycle within designated tanks, from broodstock for egg production to larval rearing using plankton produced on-site and finally to the release of juvenile fish into the Arabian Gulf. The hatchery employs advanced aquaculture technologies to ensure fish health, and it utilizes top-tier water recycling techniques to enhance performance and meet the company's circular economy objectives.

The project aligns with Saudi Aramco's mangrove plantation initiative, under which more than 43 million trees have been planted to date. Mangrove forests provide vital nursery habitats for the juvenile fish released into the Gulf, further supporting the sustainability of marine ecosystems.
