Sommet économique à Washington : le gouvernement dresse un bilan positif, une délégation du FMI attendue à Dakar
The Senegalese delegation, led by Mr. Cheikh Diba, Minister of Finance and Budget, has completed its participation in the Annual Meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank Group, held from October 13 to 18, 2025 in Washington DC.
This presence, considered highly strategic, has allowed Senegal to reaffirm its position as a sovereign actor, committed to the implementation of an ambitious agenda of reforms for a sustainable economic and financial renaissance.
Minister Diba and his delegation were received by Ms. Kristalina Georgieva, Director General of the institution. This meeting allowed for a convergence of views on the trajectory undertaken and to reaffirm the common desire "to move quickly towards the conclusion of a new program."
Both parties committed to completing technical discussions. The next step is already planned: an IMF mission is expected in Dakar next week to continue the negotiations initiated in Washington. The minister praised the Managing Director's open and constructive stance, reiterating the quality of the dialogue, which is based on transparency and accountability.
Key meetings also took place with World Bank Group officials, including Ms. Anna Bjerde (Managing Director of Operations), Mr. Ousmane Diagana (Vice President for West and Central Africa) and Mr. Makhtar Diop (Managing Director of the International Finance Corporation - IFC).
The Senegalese ministers praised the robust cooperation and expressed the country's gratitude for the institution's continued support. For their part, World Bank officials praised "the Senegalese authorities' vision focused on transparency," as well as the alignment between policies and implemented reforms. They reaffirmed the institution's commitment to stand alongside Senegal to support and finance its transformation.
In addition to the institutional meetings, the delegation held numerous meetings with investors and major international financial institutions.
The discussions focused on the country's economic prospects, supported by the hydrocarbon sector (notably gas-to-power and gas-to-industries), identified as levers of competitiveness and job creation.
The Minister highlighted the axes of Senegal's budgetary consolidation, based on: increased mobilization of revenues through the broadening of the tax base; rationalization of current expenditure; strategic reorientation of public investments based on the maturity and profitability of projects.
All partners praised Senegal's "acclaimed resilience" in controlling its economic and financial destiny, and "unanimously committed to standing alongside Senegal."

Préparez-vous, il va falloir réduire les dépenses et le train de vie de l'État.
Et aux Sénégalais également de faire des sacrifices.
