SENEGAL CUTS GOVERNMENT AGENCIES TO SAVE CASH AMID DEBT WOES. (PHOTO).


 Senegal cuts government agencies to save cash amid debt woes


Senegal has announced a plan to close 19 government agencies which account for around 1,000 ​jobs, with officials in the debt-burdened country expecting ‌the move to save at least 55 billion CFA francs ($97.95 million) over the next three years, a statement said, Reuters reported.


The ​West African country is grappling with debts that ​reached 132% of gross domestic product at the ⁠end of 2024, according to the International Monetary ​Fund, which froze its lending programme after the discovery ​of misreported debt.


The statement released after the weekly Council of Ministers meeting on March 4 said the government would also focus ​on strengthening controls and evaluations, harmonising pay scales ​and ensuring optimal use of budgetary funds.


The 19 entities employed 982 ‌people ⁠and had a combined budget allocation of 28.051 billion CFA francs ($49.96 million) in 2025, according to the statement, which did not identify the affected agencies.


Their annual ​payroll is ​estimated at ⁠9.227 billion CFA francs and their total debt stood at 2.6 billion CFA francs ​at the end of 2024, the statement ​said.


Prime ⁠Minister Ousmane Sonko has dismissed the idea of a restructuring plan despite Senegal's difficult repayment schedule. Senegal has been ⁠relying ​on the regional debt market to ​meet its financing needs.
