Using the Atuo-Regressive Distributed lag (ARDL) to test and estimate factors affecting the poverty rate in Sudan in the short and long term in the period (2017-1990). The research reached the following main results: The existence of an integral balance relationship in the long term between the poverty rate and each of the explanatory variables under study, which means that these variables are not far from each other in the long term so that they show similar behavior in Sudan, where there is a direct relationship with Both government spending, money supply, the exchange rate, and the inverse relationship of taxes in the short term.
