Collectif des Amis de Macky Sall : “Il n’y a jamais eu de dette cachée sous Macky Sall…”
This is political manipulation. It is not an economic scandal.
For several months, Ousmane Sonko and Pastef have been trying to make the public believe that there is a mysterious “hidden debt” inherited from Macky Sall. An accusation as serious as it is unfounded. The reality is simple: there is no hidden debt in Senegal's public accounts. What some call “hidden debt” is none other than the normal indebtedness of Senegalese parastatal companies, such as PETROSEN, SENELEC, SOGEPA, AIR SENEGAL, SAR, or even the CDC, which borrowed to invest in their development and strengthen their competitiveness.
Solvent companies and productive investment debts
Senegal's main public and parastatal enterprises did not take on debt to cover deficits, but to finance structural investments designed to strengthen the country's competitiveness. These loans, backed by state guarantees, were used to create real value, modernize infrastructure, and stimulate growth.
PETROSEN has invested in oil and gas projects, strategic sectors that will make Senegal a major energy player in West Africa. These investments will prepare for future oil and gas revenues, ultimately ensuring significant tax revenues.
SOGEPA has contributed to the development of public and real estate infrastructure, strengthening the State's assets and supporting the recovery
industrial.
SENELEC has modernized its distribution network and is producing more electricity, particularly from renewable sources. These projects have improved service quality, lowered production costs, and expanded access to energy.
AIR SENEGAL has invested in a modern and competitive fleet, with the ambition of positioning Dakar as a regional air hub, boosting tourism, trade and connectivity in the country.
SAR , CDC , FERA , AIBD , FHS and other national companies have also mobilized their resources to build, renovate, connect and
boost the economy. All of these companies generate revenue, employ thousands of Senegalese, and provide essential services to the population. They are not burdens on the national budget, but solid economic assets that contribute to wealth creation, energy sovereignty, and the country's industrial independence. In reality, these debts are productive, sustainable, and promising; they reflect Senegal's desire to invest to prepare for tomorrow's growth, not to live beyond its means.
A deliberate confusion between state debt and corporate debt
This is simply deliberate manipulation, which consists of mixing the State's public debt with the commercial debts incurred by parastatal companies. However, this confusion is not only misleading, but also contrary to all accounting rules.
modern public.
In all structured economies, whether in France, Canada, the United States, or European Union countries, public companies (such as EDF, SNCF, or Orange) have their own legal and financial personality. They borrow to finance their projects, develop their activities, and improve their services, without their debts being directly charged to the state budget. The state may grant a sovereign guarantee to some of these companies, particularly when the projects concern strategic sectors such as energy, transport, or telecommunications. But this guarantee does not mean that the state is the debtor: it does not repay the debt, except in exceptional cases of proven default, which remains very rare in Senegal as elsewhere. Thus, the debts of SENELEC, PETROSEN, SAR, AIBD, SOGEPA, or SONES are productive investment debts, managed within the framework of autonomous development plans. They are backed by operating revenues, real assets (infrastructure, equipment, natural resources), and profitability prospects. Confusing these commitments with sovereign debt amounts to denying economic reality and falsely suggesting that the Senegalese state is living beyond its means. This is a simplistic and politicized approach that ignores the fact that these companies contribute directly to the country's growth, job creation, and economic sovereignty. In truth, this is not a budgetary burden, but an investment strategy aimed at modernizing Senegal and positioning it sustainably as an African economic powerhouse.
Senegal's debt under Macky Sall was controlled, sustainable and productive
Contrary to some alarmist claims, Senegal's public debt under President Macky Sall has remained under control, sustainable and
especially productive.
At the end of his term, it did not exceed 25 billion euros, a very moderate level on an international scale. To give an order of magnitude
comparison: this represents barely 6% of the French debt, 10% of the Nigerian debt, and 15% of that of the Ivory Coast.
Symbolic fact : at the same time, the Orange group, a private multinational company, had a debt of more than 27 billion euros,
more than the entire state of Senegal. In other words, Senegal was far from being over-indebted. The average Senegalese remained less indebted
than an American, a Frenchman, an Ivorian, a Ghanaian, a Chinese or a Nigerian, proof that Macky Sall's budgetary policy was based on prudent management and a vision of sustainable investment. But above all, this debt was never a consumer debt: it served to
to sustainably transform the country, through visible, useful and profitable projects.
This debt was geared towards infrastructure and human development. The resources mobilized were directed towards structural investments:
- The highways linking Dakar to Thiès, Touba, AIBD, Mbour, Kaolack, Saint-Louis… have opened up the country, promoting the mobility of people
and goods.
- Bridges and flyovers (Foundiougne, Rosso, Kolda, Saint-Louis, etc.) have opened up entire regions.
- Thousands of boreholes and drinking water networks have been drilled, reducing the shortage in rural areas.
- New universities, modern high schools, and vocational training centers have been created, supporting youth and employment.
- Hospitals, health centers and stadiums have been rehabilitated or built, improving access to care and infrastructure
sports.
- Family security grants, scholarships and subsidies on basic necessities directly supported
most vulnerable populations.
It was a strategy of investment, not debt. Under Macky Sall, debt was not a burden, but a lever for growth. Every franc borrowed was directed toward wealth creation: roads, energy, health, education, food security. The loans were
structured, planned, and backed by concrete projects, with credible partners (World Bank, AfDB, IMF, EIB, bilateral partners, financial markets). Senegal has therefore invested in its future, while keeping its debt below the sustainability threshold set by international financial institutions. This macroeconomic discipline has allowed the country to preserve its international credibility, to obtain
financing at preferential rates, and to be among the most stable and attractive economies in West Africa before 2024.
In short, the debt under Macky Sall was an instrument of modernization, not a time bomb. It helped prepare the Senegal of tomorrow, by providing the country with infrastructure worthy of an emerging state. The question today, however, should not be to make the debt a scandal to demonize President Macky Sall, but to preserve the growth dynamic that it made possible, by continuing to invest.
intelligently in the real economy.
Meanwhile: Sonko-Diomaye debt explodes
Ironically, and in stark contradiction, those who accused President Macky Sall of “hiding” the debt are now at the head of the most indebted regime in Senegal’s history. The facts are relentless. According to data published by Bloomberg, Senegal’s debt under the Sonko–Diomaye duo jumped to 132% of GDP in less than two years, a record never before reached, even during periods of global crisis.
The evolution of the debt since April 2, 2024 alone illustrates the amateurism and incompetence of the current regime. At the time of the
transfer of power, Senegal's public debt stood at 74.6% of GDP. Less than six months later, on September 12, 2024, it had already jumped to 99.7%, according to figures from Sonko himself and the Court of Auditors. At the end of 2024, the Court of Auditors and the IMF reported a rate of 119%, confirming an alarming trajectory. Finally, according to Bloomberg estimates, the debt now reaches 132% of GDP as of October 18, 2025, a historic record. In other words, the current regime borrowed more between 2024 and 2025 than Macky Sall in
twelve years of governance. While Macky Sall had managed to maintain debt at a sustainable level, backed by productive projects, the
The current government has exploded the counters without presenting a clear investment plan or a vision of economic profitability.
Since their arrival, the signals sent to financial markets and international investors have been catastrophic:
Senegal's sovereign rating has been downgraded to “Caa1” by Moody's, indicating a high risk of default.
Foreign investors, once attracted by the stability and predictability of the Senegalese framework, are beginning to withdraw or suspend
their projects.
Interest rates on Senegalese debt have climbed, making each new loan more expensive for the state.
Added to this is a muddled economic diplomacy, marked by incendiary statements and ideological positions which have
has cooled off historic partners such as France, the World Bank, the European Union, and several Gulf donors. As a result, confidence has eroded, concessional financing is becoming scarce, and Senegal is turning to high-interest commercial loans, fueling the spiral of over-indebtedness.
The fundamental difference between Macky Sall and Sonko-Diomaye is the nature of the debt.
Under Macky, debt was used to build, connect, modernize and produce.
Under Sonko-Diomaye, it is used to compensate for budget deficits, finance political subsidies or maintain an administration.
plethora of political client recruitment. No major structural projects have seen the light of day since 2024. No new hospital, bridge, or major university campus has been launched. The infrastructure inherited from the PSE (Plan Sénégal Émergent) continues to drive the economy, but without a vision of continuity or sustainable maintenance policy. Meanwhile, the BCEAO's CFA franc has come under unusual pressure, foreign exchange reserves are dwindling, and the growth rate is stagnating despite the promise of an "economic break." The country, which was supposed to benefit
of the oil windfall, sees its financial credibility eroded even before entering the era of massive production.
Sonko's anti-debt, anti-partner and anti-institution discourse has produced the opposite effect to what he promised: international credit has
dried up, there are no more tourists, and growth is lagging behind.
Markets, Bretton Woods institutions and investors do not listen to political speeches: they observe the coherence of
figures, the stability of institutions and the reliability of leaders and Sonko is not internationally reliable.
What Macky Sall and his predecessors had patiently built—credibility, trust, a stable rating, and regional attractiveness—was compromised in a matter of months. Senegal, once held up as an example of good fiscal governance, now finds itself listed among the “high-risk” economies, alongside weakened states. This is a regression that is neither ideological nor moral: it is economic, technical, and measurable.
Macky Sall is a builder and a true statesman
It is therefore false, dishonest, and dangerous to present Macky Sall's economic policy as a "financial crime." President Sall borrowed to build, not to consume. He developed the country, not indebted the people. His record remains that of a methodical builder,
of a visionary leader who knew how to make Senegal a building site of modernity and prosperity.
- This false debate on a so-called “hidden debt” is nothing other than a political offensive orchestrated to tarnish the image of a
respected statesman and weaken the APR.
- It is a petty, mean and desperate strategy, revealing political jealousy in the face of Macky Sall's international influence.
Ousmane Sonko, without significant experience, without a clear economic vision and without a culture of governance, is exploiting public opinion to
to distract from one's own failure.
Under Macky Sall, there was no hidden debt, there were structural investments. Macky Sall built. Under Sonko-Diomaye, there is an explosive debt, with no visible results. Ousmane Sonko is destroying.

Bilaye yéna niaka diom. Si vraiment vous avez foi en ce que vous dites, votre gourou démoniaque n'a qu'à venir au Sénégal, bou booba vous verrez que lëp deug leu.
Donc pour vous quand on refuse de se soumettre à la rancune des Gourous de la secte satanique et maléfique de PASTEF c'est quand on est coupable . Votre GOUROU VIOLEUR ET MYTHOMANE a comme seul projet d'être Président du Sénégal et pour ce faire , il a commencé ses manœuvres diaboliques pour éliminer les candidats potentiels en 2029 . MAIS L'HOMME PROPOSE , DIEU DISPOSE
Vous de l apr vous reconnaissez l existence d une conséquente ...vous nous fatiguez pour rien
Longue et assommante connerie de lettre. On avait vu d'autres* amis de..." dans l'histoire politique du Sénégal.
Ils ont raison. Collectif des amis de Sall Lam Toro Buru Kulunastan. Le grand Kulunecen chef. Cours des comptes, cabinet "mazart", Fmi... tous pareils que des nuls. Je propose qu'on envoie les membres de ce grand collectif leur donner des cours de finances et économie... ou juste d'envoyer Pape malick ndour le nervis en herbe.
Les membres de l'APR. Les 54% de l'électorat vous attendent bons à rien.
"Collectif des amis de Macky Sall" quelle blague!
Collectif des Amis de Macky Sall😂😂😂 collectif des kulunas kay 🤔🧐
Mbee mbee mbee, moutons. Vous pensez que si on allait aux élections vous aurez même 20%. Nullards, vous êtes incapables de lire les situations.
Votre patron est bien renseigné, plus de sorties, plus de live. Le masque est tombé, c'est un menteur
Fenn, kathie,doul. Le pays est à l arrêt à cause de ses mensonges.
Ridicules. Déposez une plaintes contre le FMI ou taisez-vous à jamais. Nous, on continue. Prochaine étape: mise en accusation de Firaouna Sall et mandat d'arrêt international.
Prochain étape pour notre voleur national Macky Sall au geôle de Kédougou pour une très longue peine de 10 an (Art. 152 du CPP).
Pourquoi ne pas s'adresser au fmi qui est un organisme sérieux qui ne badine pas avec les chiffres et ça se voit la panique générale et du terrain chez les mécréants délinquants financiers voleurs de l'argent public et du fmi. Vous ne pouvez rien changer le monde entier et le continent en savent bien que macky sall est un tyran sanguinaire tueur d'opposant et de jeunes sans défense.
Le Woyofal, symbole de l’ingéniosité de Macky, disparaîtra — et avec lui, toutes les subventions qui maintenaient les prix des denrées de première nécessité à un niveau supportable. Quand ces aides sauteront, le peuple entier descendra dans la rue, car le Sénégal ne pourra plus supporter le choc.

Ou sont les anciens ministres des finances de Macky ?
Cette dette dite cachée est tout simplement une dette hors bilan. La france totalise 1000 milliards € de dette hors bilan!
Si vous êtes des garçons, demandez des explications au FMI.Bande de vaux riens
Macky a peut des poursuites. Tu vas prendre compte. Pourquoi a t IL fuit le Senegal.
On attend d'un professeur qu'il nous éclaire la lanterne par des arguments scientifiques.
Cette légèreté dont ils font preuve en dit long sur la qualité de nos universités.
Des noms sans titre? Ces gens n'existent meme pas... Juste des noms de Senegalais balance.
Les Senegalais savent quel'ancien regime a detourne tout l'argent du peuple... Ils sont tous des miliardaires avec juste des salaires. Quand un Farba Ngom a des centaine de milliards, y a pas besoin de se leurrer..

Je pense que vous êtes en train de mener un combat d´arrière garde. A chaque fois qu´un rapport est sorti, vous l´aviez renié pour nous dire d´attendre le prochain, qui d´après vous confirmera l´absence de dettes cachées. Maintenant que le FMI a confirmé, vous nous parlez de complot. J´ai l´impression que vou vous foutez du peuple sénégalais. Wa Salam
Alliance des conards qui veulent leur part du butin oui.
Merci c'est clair et net
Les amis de Son Excellence Monsieur le Président Macky Sall sont plus nombreux que ceux-là
En quoi cela nous concerne si vous êtes amis avec Macky ? C’est lui qui nous voulons voir au Sénégal
Eh bien un voleur dira toujours que c est pas moi et puis je suis pas le seul a l.avoir...c est un complot contre moi...on vous attend.au tournant pauvre type
