2026 Amending Finance Bill: IMF Calls for Senegal to Meet Budget Commitments

The IMF is closely following Senegal’s National Assembly debates on the 2026 amending finance bill and the 2027 finance bill, after the 2026 bill was rejected by the Finance and Budgetary Control Committee. At a press briefing on October 29, 2026, IMF Communications Director Julie Kozack said a budget aligned with agreed parameters is essential for Senegal to continue its $2.2 billion program. The Fund is focused on restoring fiscal sustainability, protecting vulnerable households, and preserving priority public spending. The Pastef parliamentary group raised concerns about some budget allocations.
