An 2 de Diomaye Faye - Ousmane Sonko : un expert pointe un « paradoxe fort » de l'économie
Analyzing the economic record of the Diomaye Faye-Ousmane Sonko duo after two years in power, economist and statistician Babacar Gaye describes a situation marked by a "strong paradox." According to the expert, interviewed by L'Observateur, the country is facing a far worse budgetary reality than anticipated, with very high debt and a significant real deficit, as highlighted in reports from the Court of Auditors and the IMF. Babacar Gaye offers a "shocking first truth" on this subject: the country hasn't become poorer in two years; it has discovered that it was already poorer than it thought.
Alongside these structural weaknesses, Senegal boasts "impressive" macroeconomic performance, with controlled inflation between 1 and 2% and projected growth of nearly 8% in 2025, among the highest in sub-Saharan Africa. However, the economist tempers this optimism: this momentum is primarily "driven by oil, not yet by the real economy." Excluding hydrocarbons, growth stagnates at around 3%, leading him to conclude that Senegal has an "economy that is dynamic on the surface, but still fragile at its core."
In other words, explains the interviewee from the Groupe Futurs Médias newspaper, "Senegal is neither in crisis nor stabilized."
