Senegal’s Finance Committee rejected the draft supplementary finance bill for 2026 for a second time, despite its referral back to the committee in an attempt to reach a compromise. The vote prolongs the standoff between the government and MPs over budgetary priorities, Senego reports.

The Finance and Budgetary Oversight Committee of Senegal’s National Assembly rejected the 2026 supplementary finance bill (LFR) once again on Friday, Senego reports. This second rejection by the committee came after the text was sent back for a further review at the request of Economy and Finance Minister Cheikh Diba.
