REPRENDRE NOTRE DESTIN ÉCONOMIQUE EN MAIN (Par Moustapha BA)
“Act together or suffer further: let’s choose recovery”
“The future is being played out in Africa: let’s make Senegal the driving force”
Distinction between “recovery” and “recovery”
While the Prime Minister mentioned a recovery plan, I personally believe it is more of a stimulus plan. The term "recovery" implies a response to a critical situation, almost a corrective emergency. However, Senegal's current situation calls for more than just a recovery: it requires a long-term vision, an ambitious and structured strategy to rebuild our economy in a resilient, inclusive, and sovereign manner.
To speak of recovery is to choose a word that carries hope, initiative, and national mobilization. It is to recognize that beyond the difficulties, we have immense potential to activate, provided we believe in our own abilities, rethink our models, and unite all energies around a common project.
Contribution to the Economic Recovery Plan Announced by Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko
The plan recently announced by Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko represents a decisive step in the national recovery trajectory. However, beyond the notion of recovery, it should be seen as a genuine recovery plan, a new dynamic geared towards rebuilding our economy on solid, inclusive, and sustainable foundations.
The revival of the Senegalese economy necessarily requires the mobilization of all the nation's vital forces. It requires an approach based on collective resilience, the development of national resources, and the promotion of local production. No economic progress can be envisaged without renewed trust between the State, citizens, and economic actors.
Before claiming full sovereignty, it is imperative to aim for true economic independence. A nation dependent on the world for its basic needs, funding, or strategic vision remains in a weak position. We must break free from this pattern of chronic dependence, not by rejecting external partnerships, but by asserting our ability to produce, innovate, and decide our own priorities.
In this context, the South-South partnership appears to be a credible and relevant path. It allows for the forging of links between states that share similar economic realities, common challenges, but also complementary opportunities. This solidarity between emerging nations is today one of the most promising levers for autonomous and balanced development.
More than ever, the time has come for unity, boldness, and shared responsibility. This recovery plan must not be the exclusive responsibility of the government, but that of all Senegalese. Everyone, at their own level, must identify with it, contribute to it, and feel responsible for it.
Because it is only by believing in ourselves, by valuing our potential, and by acting together that we will be able to build an economically strong, sovereign Senegal, and one that looks to the future.

Monsieur BA, votre contribution se distingue par sa clarté stratégique et son appel à la mobilisation nationale, mais reste générale : elle manque de mesures concrètes, n’aborde pas les contraintes macroéconomiques mondiales ni les mécanismes de financement. Elle offre cependant une vision ambitieuse d’un Sénégal souverain, fort et tourné vers l’avenir, inscrit dans une dynamique africaine.
"Aucun progrès économique ne saurait être envisagé sans une confiance retrouvée entre l’État, les citoyens et les acteurs économiques." certes monsieur seydi Ba mais dans ce plan de redressement du pm il y a forcément un des 3 cités qui en fera les frais, pas d'omelette sans casser d’œufs. le plan est très ambitieux et souverain mais il y a tellement d'obstacles a prévoir. j'éspère qu'il réussira même si ce n'est pas dans les délais.
encore un golo...quand tu importes tout
Relance, redressement tout cela c'est du blabla pour justifier son échec . A ce que je sache , à l'arrivée de SONKO au pouvoir le Sénégal n'était pas par terre , mais bel et bien debout . Ce petit inspecteur des impôts inculte et analphabète est toujours la victimisation pour justifier son incompétence à répondre aux attentes des citoyens .
