Bloomberg Economics reports that Senegal expects to finalize its debt restructuring within a few months. The country’s primary objective is securing a $2.2 billion loan from the International Monetary Fund.
President Bassirou Diomaye Faye stated this strategy in remarks to France24 late Thursday, specifying that the government intends to conclude the debt revamp using a simplified iteration of the Group of 20 Common Framework.
“What fundamentally concerns us today is how to discuss with the Fund, reach an agreement and obtain a program that is approved by the Board and definitively restores the confidence of our partners,” Faye said.
