After the rejection of the 2026 supplementary budget in plenary and the 2027 budget bill in the finance committee, the timetable for the IMF-supported programme is becoming more fragile in Senegal.

The International Monetary Fund says its financial support for Senegal remains conditional on the effective implementation of agreed reforms and consistency in the budget framework, following the rejection of the 2026 supplementary finance bill and the blocking of the 2027 budget in committee. Its spokesperson, Julie Kozack, reaffirmed respect for Senegalese parliamentary sovereignty, according to SeneNews.
