To examine the impact of macroeconomic variables and tax revenue on the performance of financial institutions in South Sudan. The study used secondary data from the Central Bank of South Sudan and other statutory bodies. The study used the Econometric Views (EViews) software for data analysis and management. Descriptive statistics, diagnostic tests, regression, and correlation analysis were conducted to examine the relationships between the variables. The study found that there was an inverse statistically significant relationship between macroeconomic variables and tax revenue and the performance of financial institutions in South Sudan. This means that when macroeconomic variables and tax revenue decrease, the performance of financial institutions also decreases. The study concluded that the government can utilize macroeconomic variables and tax revenue to influence the performance of financial institutions. The government should implement policies to promote economic stability and increase tax revenue in order to improve the performance of financial institutions.
