Senegal makes early repayment of two external debt maturities ahead of IMF mission

Senegal made early repayments of two external debt maturities: a €53.75 million coupon on a 2037 eurobond and a $38.8 million payment on a 2031 dollar bond, days before an IMF mission is expected in Dakar to discuss a new financing program. Finance Minister Cheikh Diba said the government aims to reach an agreement on key negotiation points by the end of June. The move is seen as a signal of fiscal discipline and a commitment to maintaining investor confidence.
