Description

We have lowered Senegal’s 2026 economic growth forecast to 5.2%, reflecting normalising hydrocarbon activity, volatile oil prices, persistent debt pressures, and ongoing delays in a new IMF deal. Public debt is expected to remain elevated at 111.8% of GDP in 2026 amid sustained regional market borrowing, while the fiscal deficit is projected to widen to 6.1% of GDP as debt-servicing costs rise. Meanwhile, we forecast consumer price inflation to edge up to 1.8% in 2026 due to unfavourable base effects and domestic price pressures.
