Sénégal 2050 : En six mois, l’État n’a investi que 12 milliards sur ressources propres
The current regime claims to be a sovereignist government that relies primarily on domestic funds to balance its budget. However, the reality seems quite different when tested against the facts. Indeed, as of June 30, 2025, investments made by the Senegalese state from its own resources amounted to 12 billion. In other words, of the thousands of billions collected during the first six months of the year, only 12 billion were allocated to investment.
The revelation came from businessman Alla Sène Guèye, president of the Senegalese Federation of Industrialists, during an interview with Seneweb. A figure that worries employers given the investment needs to revive the economy. Although these 12 billion are more than debt, he says.
In fact, the state's operating expenses amounted to 2,233 billion in six months, while the state collected 2,227 billion in the first half of the year. In other words, all the revenue collected was eaten up by state operations, with a deficit of 6 billion.
At the same time, we see that the amounts allocated to investment continue to decline. For example, Alla Sène Guèye points out, in the public investment plan, the amount planned was 3,444 billion. But with the LFR, the sum has dropped to 1,900 billion, a difference of 1,600 billion. "The adjustment concerns public spending when it should have concerned the State's operating expenses," he worries. For Alla Sène Guèye, not all tax revenues should be allocated to the State's operations.
The other concern is that of the 1,900 billion planned for investment in the Finance Law, only 580 billion has actually been spent after six months. At this rate, we will be far from the 1,900 billion at the end of the budget year. Investment is likely to be around 1,000 billion and almost exclusively from foreign resources.
For example, while actual equity invested was $12 billion in six months, foreign resources amounted to $395 billion over the same period. This means that investment is almost entirely dependent on external resources.
"But this will diminish with the problems we are facing with the IMF. If we do not agree with the IMF, it will be difficult to raise funds from the outside world to talk about investment," emphasizes Alla Sène Guèye, who insists on the need for catalytic investments to revive the industry.
