South Sudan has halved spending on everything but salaries to compensate for the loss of revenue following an oil shutdown due to a row with Sudan. Oil makes up 98% of its budget, after it split from the north last year. There will be no job losses and government wages will still be paid, the finance ministry stressed.
President Salva Kiir said his nation would rather struggle for a bit than continue to hand over its oil revenues to the old enemies in Khartoum. The pipelines run from South Sudan through its northern neighbour, with which it fought a bitter civil war for decades, leading to the deaths of some 1.5 million people.
But the two countries have never reached an agreement over how much the south must pay. In January, South Sudan shut down its entire oil production of 350,000 barrels a day after Sudan started seizing southern oil to compensate for what it called unpaid transit fees.
After the new country shut down its oil production, Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir responded by saying war was now closer than peace. Each country accuses the other of backing rebel groups and there have been clashes along the new border.
'Swift and deep'
The austerity measures are immediate."These are swift and deep cuts, but no layoffs of civil servants, organized forces personnel and [army] SPLA," Finance Minister Kosti Manibe said in a statement on Sunday. "Everyone's paycheck is being maintained," he said.
The BBC's James Copnall in Khartoum says this is good news for South Sudan's hundreds of thousands of civil servants and men and women in uniform. South Sudan's first budget allocated over 40% of $2bn (£1.2bn) to salaries, the AFP news agency reports.
Our correspondent says leaving the oil in the ground has been a popular move in South Sudan - many people see it as the moment the country finally became truly free.
Tax collection
The amount transferred to each of South Sudan's 10 states will also be lowered, though the reduction will be "minimal" according to the statement. The government says it will also triple tax revenue within six months through better tax enforcement.
Our correspondent says detailed figures are not available, but it seems unlikely these measures will fully compensate for the loss of the oil revenue since no significant economy exists outside of oil.
Vice-President Riek Machar told the BBC last week that the loss of oil revenues would mean development would have to be put on hold for several years, but basic services would not suffer.
"For a period of 30 months we will definitely freeze our activities on development, but we'll provide basic services: Health; education; water and even some infrastructure projects will go on," he said.
New talks to try to resolve the oil impasse between South Sudan and Khartoum are due in the next few days in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa.

Few watch aficionados realize
Few watch aficionados realize that the Japanese brand seiko watch has a history as old as many of its Swiss rivals. Founded in the 1880s, the company began manufacturing wrist seiko watches after World War I and quickly became an innovative leader, developing one of the world's first seiko automatic and seiko chronograph. But perhaps Seiko's greatest achievement came about in its race with the American brand Bulova to harness new technology, leading to the quartz watch, which revolutionized the industry and nearly drove the Swiss out of business.
More innovations followed, including the first computer wristwatch, in 1984, and the first nonbattery seiko kinetic watch. To this list we can now add another groundbreaker: the Seiko Spring Drive mechanical movement, which is accurate to one second per day, making it approximately three times more precise than the average mechanical watch. The Spring Drive also provides an enduring seventy-two hours of power reserve (most watches offer about forty) and winds 30 percent faster than a conventional movement.
According to seiko uk, twenty-eight years of work went into developing this movement, and only five of the company's hundreds of watchmakers possess the requisite skills to assemble it. Regardless of its technological history, the seiko 5 is a skillfully designed watch, with graceful hands and interesting use of off-center dials.
