Pétrole, gaz et performance : le Sénégal franchit un seuil historique de PIB

According to the latest data from the National Agency for Statistics and Demography, Senegal's gross domestic product in the first quarter of 2025 will be 4,206.32 billion CFA francs. This level illustrates the strength of economic activity in an unprecedented context, marked by the first effects of oil and gas exploitation.

This figure is not just an accounting statistic; it constitutes a strategic barometer for monitoring the trajectory of the economy. The gradual integration of hydrocarbons adds to the vitality of traditional sectors, raising the question of the balance between increased dependence on extractive resources and the need to consolidate agriculture, industry, and services.

Crossing the 4.2 trillion threshold also underscores the importance of anticipating the effects of this shift. Managing oil and gas revenues, controlling inflation, and financing infrastructure are becoming key levers for transforming this performance into inclusive growth.

The first quarter of 2025 thus marks a pivotal stage. The Senegalese economy is entering a phase of structural restructuring where each budgetary and strategic choice will weigh on the realization of Vision 2050.

    C'est quand même incroyable de se tromper de chiffres deux fois dans le même article. Le PIB du premier trimestre est de 4.806 milliards et ce n'est même pas le record puisque en T4 2024 le chiffre était 1.2% plus élevé. 😥
