“Donors want to integrate good faith and the exercise of truth. No donor has turned their back on Senegal. The World Bank as well as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) have declared that they are awaiting the report from the Court of Auditors,” assures Ousmane Sonko.
He clearly says “that no donor has turned his back on Senegal whose signature on the financial markets remains intact” And explains: “We have no problem raising funds, even if the signature was a little degraded. But this signature remains intact.
According to him, “if this truth exercise was not carried out, we would go from 85% debt to reach 150%”. The Prime Minister assures that “debt policy will change radically”.
“A development program is managed little by little. We’re going to go about it methodically. And the first thing is to believe in ourselves, financial institutions have not developed any country. Budgetary and financial sovereignty is the first guarantee of sovereignty in general. We are working in this direction. We need a tax policy that corresponds to the means of the Senegalese,” he announces.
