Recettes, décaissements, déficit …: Ce que l’Etat a collecté et ce qu’il a dépensé jusqu’ici (2026)
For 2026, the State of Senegal is targeting 5,932.2 billion FCFA in revenue and 7,177.2 billion FCFA in expenditure for the general budget. Today, at the end of the first quarter of the year, the Minister of Finance and Budget, Cheikh Diba, provided an update.
103.4 billion more compared to March 2025
During his hearing at the National Assembly on Friday, he indicated that general budget revenues amounted to 1139.5 billion FCFA, or 19.2% of the annual target of the 2026 Finance Law. Compared to the same period last year, they represent an increase of 103.4 billion FCFA.
In parallel, total general budget expenditures amounted to 1482.7 billion FCFA, of which 1346.3 billion FCFA came from internal resources and 136.4 billion FCFA from external resources.

A deficit in the right direction
As a result, the budget deficit at the end of March 2026 stood at 343.2 billion CFA francs, representing 1.5% of GDP. The annual target set in the 2026 Finance Law is to limit the budget deficit to 1,245.1 billion CFA francs, or 5.37% of GDP.
"This level of quarterly deficit is consistent with the fiscal consolidation trajectory. During the month of April 2026," Cheikh Diba told MPs on Friday.
Between spending and revenue, the State is playing it safe
Overall, state budget revenues reached 1558 billion at the end of April, while total expenditures from internal resources, "assessed on the basis of the ordered credits, reached 1103.2 billion CFA francs, representing an execution rate of 35.5% of the credits opened," the minister told the deputies.
"This level of expenditure allocation significantly lower than the revenue raised reflects a deliberately prudent and rigorous management which is part of the ongoing oil shock linked to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East," he explained.
Sheikh Diba reports that these tensions generate high uncertainty on the evolution of hydrocarbon prices and consequently on the trajectory of oil revenues and subsidy costs to the energy sector.
