Minister's message
Dear visitors,
Under the leadership of the President of the Republic, His Excellency Mr. Bassirou Diomaye Diakhar FAYE, Senegal has embarked on a new phase of its development, driven by the vision of a sovereign, fair and prosperous Senegal, through the Senegal 2050 national transformation agenda. The Ministry of Finance and Budget plays a central role in this transformative vision. It is the structuring lever for the implementation of public policies, through resource mobilization, budget programming, debt management, steering of public investment and the financial governance of the State.
In this context, an in-depth reform is underway to establish a renewal of public finance management. This renewal is based on several pillars:
Restoring budget credibility, by ensuring control of financial information, securing the State’s commitments and respecting the principles of transparency;
Consolidating the trajectory of public finance sustainability, by ensuring a balance between development financing and debt viability;
Redesigning the legal and regulatory framework, through reform of budgetary, tax and customs management instruments;
Modernizing management tools, with a strong focus on digitalization, data analysis and the development of new monitoring and evaluation instruments;
Transparency and accountability, by improving the dissemination of budgetary information and strengthening institutional financial communication;
Performance in the allocation and execution of resources, in service of the State’s priorities, with a constant focus on economic and social impact.
Thus, the Ministry of Finance and Budget is the strategic pillar for steering and transformation, supporting all sectoral public policies. Our commitment is to guarantee, with rigor and efficiency, the provision of the resources needed to achieve development objectives, while consolidating the trust of citizens, economic and financial partners, and international institutions.
The transformation of our economy and society necessarily requires exemplary, efficient and transparent public finance management.
Rest assured of the determination of the women and men – valiant soldiers of public finance – to carry out this mission with responsibility and high standards in the service of Senegal’s sustainable development.
