Analysis by Region - Emerging Markets - Senegal

Senegal has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons. A certified report on an audit of the country's fiscal finances in February found that Senegal's fiscal position is much weaker than what official data suggests. This revelation halted IMF payouts under the current arrangement and soured global sentiment towards the West African nation. Even so, the country’s economic potential is promising, especially in the fledgling hydrocarbon sector. We currently project economic growth of 8.8% in 2025 – the same figure expected by the Senegalese government. Our outlook is highly dependent on hydrocarbon output driving strong export growth.
