Editorial : Fatima Babadin

In a bold move aimed at revitalizing Senegal’s economy, the President has unveiled an ambitious plan that focuses on both job creation and the restructuring of the nation’s financial system. Announcing the 4th Social Conference in April, which will focus on youth employment, the President highlighted the critical need for transformative reforms to restore economic credibility and stability. Central to this plan is the overhaul of public finance systems, alongside intensified economic, budgetary, and administrative reforms in close collaboration with the Ministries of Finance and Economy.

The President has also urged the government to prepare a fresh legislative agenda and develop a new budgetary strategy, emphasizing a homegrown approach to managing public finances. He stressed that reforms must be driven by consensus among stakeholders, aimed at modernizing public administration and instilling a culture of results within the public sector. This comprehensive strategy seeks not only to reinforce Senegal’s economic sovereignty but also to ensure long-term justice and prosperity for its people.
