The State of Senegal succeeded on Friday, May 2, 2025 on Friday, May 2, 2025, a fund of FCFA 193 billion on the regional financial market of the West African monetary union (UMOA), via a mixed program of good treasury assimilable (BAT) and assimilable Treasury (OAT).
The operation, organized by the UMOA-Titres agency, initially aimed at an objective of 180 billion FCFA. The result therefore exceeds expectations, reflecting the persistent confidence of investors in the Senegalese signature.
This success is explained in particular by the important mobilization of national operators: 97.2 % of subscriptions come from investors based in Senegal. This strong local participation illustrates the solidity of the domestic market and the growing interest of national actors in public debt instruments.
Since the beginning of 2025, Senegal has raised a total of FCFA 460 billion on the UMMA market, alone representing 10 % of regional public emissions, according to data provided by UMOA-Titres and relayed by Financial Afrik. At the same time, the country has honored its financial commitments, with a reimbursement of 337 billion FCFA in capital and the payment of 52 billion FCFA in interest.
This dynamic confirms the proactive strategy of the Senegalese authorities in terms of public debt management. It also reflects their desire to strengthen the confidence of investors through a transparent, controlled and online financing policy with the objectives of budgetary sustainability.
