Budget 2026 : Cheikh Diba insiste sur la transparence et la soutenabilité de la dette
The examination of the 2026 budget of the Ministry of Finance and Budget took place this Friday at the National Assembly, under the insistence of the deputies, in a context marked by the persistent concern around the public debt.
Cheikh Diba, Minister of Finance and Budget, opened his remarks by commending the quality of the debates and the constructive role of the parliamentarians. He reiterated the importance of the organic law relating to finance laws and the Multi-Year Budgetary and Economic Programming Document (DPBEP), which serves as the basis for three-year budgetary planning.
“The debt situation is serious, even worrying, but it is neither hidden nor irreversible. The Government has chosen total transparency, through a comprehensive audit of the State's commitments, certification by the Court of Auditors, and publication of the results. Our responsibility today is to restore the credibility of public finances, ensure debt sustainability, and mobilize the necessary resources to finance national priorities without compromising Senegal's future,” the minister stated.
Transparency and comprehensive audit
In response to recurring criticism regarding the lack of transparency in public finances, the minister emphasized that the General Inspectorate of Finance (IGF), with the support of the various directorates general, conducted a 90-day audit covering all of the State's financial commitments. The Court of Auditors subsequently certified this report, which was published in accordance with the law. This approach aims to move beyond partial analyses and limited samples, guaranteeing complete transparency regarding both domestic and external debt. According to Cheikh Diba, these measures allow for the clear identification of financing needs and the planning of appropriate solutions.
Domestic and external debt: balance and outlook
The minister noted that Senegal's debt is currently divided equally between domestic and external debt, with favorable refinancing conditions. While domestic debt raises concerns, it is largely held by local actors and represents a relatively secure source of financing. Cheikh Diba emphasized the importance of controlling public spending and mobilizing more revenue to strengthen the state's solvency and liquidity, while simultaneously preparing the country for ambitious economic recovery programs.
A call for unity and responsibility
Beyond the legitimate differences within the Assembly, the minister called on members of parliament to focus on the essentials: successfully completing the budget and restoring the confidence of financial partners. "The situation is what it is, that's the truth. But it is recoverable," he concluded, urging them to transform the current difficulty into an opportunity to strengthen Senegal's economic stability.

Quelle est l utilisation des multiples dettes contractées depuis que vous êtes au pouvoir?
La situation globale et détaillée de la dette contractée au nom de tous les Sénégalais.
Le détail des 7 millions de dollars de dettes soit disant cachées
Etc ... ....
Votre discours populiste est très loin de vos actions quotidienne. Le mensonge ne peut être exigé en règle de gestion publique. Les moutons ne sont pas les seuls citoyens sénégalais.
«La situation de la dette est sérieuse, elle est même préoccupante, mais elle n’est ni dissimulée ni irréversible.
pourquoi utiliser le terme de dissimulée à la place de cachée? Il faut arrêter l'hypocrisie et dire la vérité.
Le Vrai.
