Debt: 1,200 billion to pay in 2 months, how Diomaye will avoid Senegal's financial suffocation

Senegal must repay over 1,200 billion FCFA of public debt between June and July 2026, with 582 billion due in June and 633 billion in July. President Bassirou Diomaye Faye and Prime Minister Ahmadou Al Aminou Mohamed Lo are seeking solutions amid a saturated financial market and tight budget margins. Total financing needs for 2026 are estimated at about 6,075 billion FCFA, and the country faces rising interest rates and worsening sovereign risk perception.
