Senegal's new president orders 'action plan' to reset economy
The West African country is battling rising debt and inflation with unemployment rate is around 20%
Senegalese President Bassirou Diomaye Faye has ordered his prime minister to draw up an urgent "action plan" to strengthen the country's flagging economy and finances, his office said in a statement.
The 44-year-old swept to victory in an election last month on a promise of radical reform, becoming the country's youngest president despite never having held elected office.
On Tuesday he gave his prime minister and former mentor Ousmane Sonko until the end of the month to draw up an "action plan", said the statement, released after Faye's first cabinet meeting.
He ordered Sonko to "carry out a general review of programmes and plans" and report on "the general situation of the public finances", international cooperation and public-private partnerships, it said.
