The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has initiated an assessment in Senegal following a government audit that revealed significant data revisions. The audit, ordered by President Bassirou Diomaye Faye, uncovered a deficit of over 10% of GDP at the end of 2023, rather than the previously reported 5%. As a result, Senegal decided to defer its request for an IMF disbursement in July. IMF staff visited Senegal to discuss the audit’s findings and will continue working with authorities to evaluate the macroeconomic impact and determine next steps. The focus is on assessing potential misreporting in past and current IMF-supported programs.
