The Senegalese government has made public the quarterly budget execution report for the third quarter of 2026. Deputy Amadou Ba criticises the Ministry of the Economy for having sent it late, even though lawmakers had been requesting it since the amended finance law, according to his post.

The quarterly budget execution report for Senegal’s third quarter of 2026 has been made public after deputies repeatedly requested its transmission, along with that of other mandatory documents, since the examination of the amended finance law. Deputy Amadou Ba says the Ministry of Economy, Finance and Plan sent these documents only one day before the end of the budget examination in committee, according to Senego.

Amadou Ba recalls that these documents must be submitted at the same time as the finance bill, so that parliamentarians can assess its sincerity. The deputy called on the public to witness the situation publicly, according to his post reported by Senego.

The report’s publication comes two days after deputies rejected the 2027 Energy budget on 12 November. It also comes amid a series of disputes over the budget examination in Parliament. The rejection of the 2027 Energy budget followed the budget debates in question.
