Following the approval of Senegal’s 2025 budget, which projects a deficit of approximately 7% of the nation’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), experts have begun analyzing its implications.

Budget analyst Amadou Samb, speaking to WADR, highlighted the distinct features of this budget compared to prior years. He emphasized how it incorporates provisions to engage civil society, enabling them to play a vital role in fostering inclusive economic growth.

Samb noted that this unique approach could help improve transparency and ensure that the budget contributes to the overall development of Senegal’s economy. The 2025 budget represents a step toward balancing fiscal policy with strategies for sustainable growth.
