Trade Balance: How Senegal Achieved a Leap of 243.9 Billion FCFA

In March 2026, Senegal recorded a spectacular recovery in its trade balance, shifting from a deficit of 60.1 billion FCFA to a surplus of 183.8 billion FCFA, an improvement of 243.9 billion FCFA. According to the National Agency of Statistics and Demography (ANSD), this performance is driven by a strong rise in exports (+260.3 billion FCFA), particularly crude oil, while imports increased only by 16.4 billion FCFA. This rebound signals a positive dynamic for Senegal's economy.
