In Senegal, the National Assembly’s Finance Committee, dominated by Pastef, rejected the 2027 budgets of the Energy, Mines and Education ministries on 11 November 2026. Several other ministerial appropriations were also rejected by the committee, while work is due to end on 14 November and the IMF still has to approve a $2.2 billion aid programme, according to RFI.
The National Assembly’s Finance Committee rejected the 2027 budget proposals for the Energy, Mines and Education ministries on 11 November. The Assembly had already rejected the 2026 supplementary budget on 3 November, according to RFI.
MPs reorganised the budget review schedule and scheduled four departments per day in the technical committee. Work is due to end on Saturday 14 November.
Other appropriations already rejected include those for Foreign Affairs, Social and Solidarity Economy, Fisheries and the Civil Service. These decisions came at the stage of reviewing appropriations in the technical committee.
Without an approved budget, the government could have to resort to decrees, while the IMF still has to approve a $2.2 billion aid programme.
