The International Monetary Fund (IMF) recently concluded its mission to Senegal without finalizing a new lending programme. However, an IMF official confirmed that efforts are ongoing to establish one swiftly.

Mission Chief Edward Gemayel stated during a press briefing that the dialogue will persist over the next few weeks, highlighting Senegal's dedication to rectifying its financial challenges.
