Abstract
To capture volatility dynamic in the black market for foreign exchange in Sudan, in this
paper we allowed a quadratic response of volatility to good and bad news. Results of
asymmetric conditional volatility of the black market rate indicate bad news have more
significant impact on volatility of the black market rate than the impact of good news.
Evidence of volatility persistence shows the black market price exhibits short memory
behavior, implying price changes reflect most recent information. Analysis of impulse
response effects shows that the market is weakly linked to international currency and
commodity markets.
