JUBA, Sept. 29 (Xinhua) -- South Sudan on Tuesday said it will bar people traveling outside the country with cash exceeding 10,000 U.S. dollars in a bid to minimize cash outflows as Juba struggles to stabilize its weakened economy after years of conflict.

Michael Makuei Lueth, Minister of Information and Broadcasting, said the new measure was recommended by the cabinet after findings by the economic cluster committee set up by President Salva Kiir to investigate mismanagement of non-oil revenue collection.
