‘Asian Tigers’ is a nicknamed that was given to Asians flourishing economies that centered included powerful economies such as Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan. These nations were famous for fast growing economies that they had developed and empowered in the 60s and 70s. The rapid economic growth was fueled by exports, educated populace, high savings and rapid industrialization that was a priority to these third world economies during that time. Today, these countries have been ranked as the fastest growing economies in the world. Their economic growth was and is still viewed as miraculous and some authors allude this to their success story. The economies of the four tigers proved to be resilient enough to withstand local crises, such as the Asian financial crisis of 1997, as well as the global economic shocks like the credit crunch of 2008 and hyperinflation. That being said, South Sudan has constantly faced intractable obstacles that has debilitated the whole country and its economy. These forces include absence of economic reforms, corruption, weak institutions of learning, constant political instability, attacks on roads by unknown gunmen and high crime rates by gang groups especially within Juba town that affects local and foreign investors. All these obstacles, including afunctional infrastructural have hindered the flow of goods and services. Despite the high poverty rates and a discouraging birth through war and secession should not be a blockade for “Junub” (South Sudan) to attain developmental goals as indicated in Sustainable Development Goals, especially SDG 1, 3 and 12. South Sudan can defy the all the expectations in the decades of war by careful state planning and coordinated national efforts, such as equitable revenue sharing to states and integration with its member states especially the East African Community and other selected clubs across the globe to enable them to attain the income levels like that of other economies and even surpass them. It’s important for both the government and stakeholders to recognize the limitation of production and market failure in the allocation of the substantial resources in the economy and as well understand important roles required in the development of nascent nation that is endured with enormous resources. The land, water and mineral resource (oil, gold, diamond, fertile soils and many more) are plenty in South Sudan compared to its smaller population. Therefore, effective management and development of these resources would offer the prospect of sustained economic growth for an extended period of time. At the institutional level, improvement in the state capacity is essential driver for development. A working level of cohesion must be built through policies and power arrangements that emphasize equity and inclusiveness. To attend such heights in economic growth and development, Democracy is the best system for building legitimate and inclusive states that can minimize the prospects of war. However, under certain circumstances, some fragile contexts, dominant cross cutting coalitions by the government, opposition and other stakeholders may be better equipped to deliver stability and growth. The Asian Tigers had established not just a foothold, but a presence on the ladder of development by laying a strategy to develop human capital, particularly science and technology, were the factors that South Sudan could emulate. The correct application of the monetary and fiscal policy should be seen as a crucial to South Sudan government because it signals to domestic and foreign investors as well as stimulation of domestic savings. In conclusion, the outward looking development developed by the Asian tigers depended on the expanded export base in the ever extending degree while the effort aimed at improvement of the internal situation, therefore for a low income economy such as South Sudan, the government and all the stakeholders need to ensure stabilization of the country through peace and security then all the following aspects can be achieved: import substitution through investment in domestic production; well-functioning public and private institutions; well-developed basic infrastructure; a stable macroeconomic framework; and a healthy and literate labor force through education reforms and provision of incentives to the civil servants.
