Senegal’s President Bassirou Diomaye Faye has pledged to tackle the country’s economic challenges following the release of a Court of Auditors’ report on public finances. The 57-page document, which assesses public finances from 2019 to 2024, highlights significant irregularities under former President Macky Sall’s administration. It also reveals that Senegal’s public debt has soared to nearly 100%, surpassing the WAEMU threshold of 70%. Returning from the 38th African Union Summit, President Faye assured the nation that his government is committed to stabilizing the economy.
