Dégradation de la Note souveraine par Moody's : Mamadou Faye, Directeur de la BNDE, appelle à un sursaut national
Mamadou Faye, Director General of the National Bank for Economic Development of Senegal (BNDE), issued a solemn appeal this Saturday for national recovery in the face of the recent downgrade of Senegal's sovereign rating by Moody's. In a statement released today, he described this decision, announced on September 30, 2025, as "unjustified and disconnected from the reality of our economic fundamentals," emphasizing that the country remains "solid, reform-oriented, and resolutely committed to controlling its macroeconomic balances."
Beyond the technical controversy, Mamadou Faye calls for collective reflection on our dependence on foreign assessments. "This episode must lead us to a national awakening for the endogenous financing of our development," he insists, calling for faith in "our institutions, our businesses, and our ability to mobilize our own resources." This mobilization requires increased support for national financial instruments, with the BNDE at the forefront. True to its vocation, the bank is committed to:
To be “the armed wing of national financial sovereignty”;
Mobilize and direct the savings of Senegalese people, whether they reside in the country or abroad;
Transform these resources into productive financing for SMEs, regions and the real economy.
Mamadou Faye rejects the idea that trust can be decreed in New York or London, stating: "It is built here, through our actions, our solidarity, and our shared commitment." He calls for unity around the national economy, support for local financial institutions, and strengthening internal financing levers. "Senegal's development will first and foremost be financed by the Senegalese themselves," he insists, in a context where the rating downgraded from Ba3 to B1 by Moody's, motivated by concerns over debt and hydrocarbons, is perceived as unfair in light of ongoing reforms and the 6.3% growth projected for 2025 in the WAEMU.
"The time has come to unite around our national economy," concluded Faye, launching a unifying slogan: "Together, for Senegal. Together, we will undertake the future." This declaration comes as the country seeks to diversify its sources of financing, particularly after tensions related to the hidden debt revealed in August 2025, and aligns with Vision 2050, which aims for strengthened economic sovereignty.

Il faut parler à votre soit disant premier ministre qu il ferme sa grande gueule de merde
Il a été prouvé qu'il avait tort à maintes reprises. Certains lobby jouent le jeu pour contrecarrer l'agenda et la souveraineté.
Il faut redresser et suivre le programme en place.
On est où?
Il faut qu'on se réveille, les mêmes agences de notation sont de mèche avec le FMI et la Banque Mondiale, OMC et autres pour exercer leur domination sur les pays les plus pauvres. Si l'occident et les Etats-Unis voulaient développer ces pays, ils l'auraient fait depuis longtemps, malheureusement pour nous ils ont besoin de nos matières premières et de nos terres pour nourrir leurs populations. Cela dit, nous devons compter sur nos propres forces en remboursant toutes nos dettes et se détourner définitivement du FMI et de la Banque Mondiale. Croire à la Vision 2050 en transformant toutes nos matières premières sur place et d'aller chercher des financements et la technologie en Asie et dans les pays arabes qui ont une parfaite maîtrise du gaz et du pétrole.
Merci,
