Listings are matched on the BIC and its LEI, so they cover the 32 institutions here that hold a BIC. Country programmes name South Sudan; Elucidate grades them as targeted listings only. ### OFAC programmes naming South Sudan Entries on the OFAC lists under each programme, all entry types, published 23 September 2026 - South Sudan SOUTH SUDAN 24 Level: Targeted listings only (graded by Elucidate). A programme lists individuals, entities, vessels and aircraft; its count is not a count of institutions. ### EU regimes naming South Sudan Entries on the EU consolidated list under each regime, generated 22 September 2026 - South Sudan SSD 9 Level: Targeted listings only (graded by Elucidate). ## Regulation and supervision None of the 22 tracked registers covers South Sudan. All 32 institutions listed here hold a BIC; firms licensed only by South Sudan’s national authorities are not listed. ## Groups and systemic importance For 2 institutions here, GLEIF records a parent in another country. ### Largest other groups GLEIF consolidation groups, by legal entities (LEIs) in this country | Group | LEIs here | LEIs in the group | | --- | --- | --- | | [Standard Bank Group Limited](https://elucidate.co/directory/group/2549003PEZXUT7MDBU41) | 1 | 23 | | [Qatar Investment Authority](https://elucidate.co/directory/group/5493008JZL5CRK3VS565) | 1 | 11 | ### Parents abroad Institutions here by the country of their GLEIF ultimate parent (else direct parent) - [Qatar1](https://elucidate.co/directory/country/qa "Qatar: 1") - [South Africa1](https://elucidate.co/directory/country/za "South Africa: 1") GLEIF parents are accounting-consolidation relationships.

Institutions without a BIC are not screened. Always screen against the official lists.
