Gestion de la dette : Le Sénégal ajuste ses leviers budgétaires

With debt estimated at 130% of GDP, Senegal has unveiled its debt management strategy for the period 2026-2028, designed to reduce this ratio to 101% by 2028. The plan anticipates a gradual reduction in interest payments, from 4.7% of GDP in 2024 to 4.5%, in order to improve fiscal sustainability and free up resources for public investment. This initiative comes amid heightened scrutiny from markets and international partners, as nearly 15% of the total debt matures this year.

The strategy includes several financing scenarios, one of which was developed with IMF support to secure external resources and reduce refinancing risk. It emphasizes reducing variable-rate debt, which represents 20% of the total, and short-term debt, which accounts for 30.4%, in favor of concessional financing and longer-term borrowing.

According to Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko, this approach aims to consolidate Senegal's budgetary discipline and financial viability without compromising its capacity for public investment. The strategy also incorporates a particular focus on optimizing debt management, transparency, and regular communication with creditors to maintain market confidence and secure the country's economic development.

    Voilà ! Puisque l'opposition dit que cette dette n'existe pas et n'en n'a pas informé le parlement comme il se doit, il faut l'isoler, et rembourser doucement la partie"officielle" sans pénaliser les investissements pour le présent et le futur de notre pays ainsi que pour notre jeunesse.
