Tableau des prévisions de croissance FMI 2026 pour l'Afrique subsaharienne
In 2025, the figures were far more promising. By year's end, economic growth had reached 7.9%, nearly hitting double digits. However, the outlook for 2026 signals no major improvement. On the contrary, the International Monetary Fund projects economic growth of just 2.2% for Senegal, according to official figures released Thursday in its report on economic prospects in Sub-Saharan Africa.Indeed, following a solid 2025 with estimated economic growth of 4.5%, Sub-Saharan Africa has seen its prospects dimmed by the war in the Middle East. According to the IMF, the shock has triggered a rapid rise in the prices of key commodities, particularly fuels and fertilizers. The Bretton Woods institution warns that poverty, food insecurity, and other social indicators could further deteriorate due to reduced external aid and rising food costs. Growth in the region is expected to decline to 4.3% in 2026, the IMF forecasts.However, the situation varies from country to country. Ethiopia tops the pyramid: Guinea (8.7%), Uganda (7.5%), Rwanda (7.2%), and Benin (7.0%) join Ethiopia (9.2%) to form the Top 5. Senegal struggles in 37th place with 2.2%, behind all its neighbors in the West African Economic and Monetary Union (UEMOA) and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). Minister Abdourahmane Sarr points to a recovery phase and the strong fundamentals of the UEMOA zone.
