🇸🇳🇺🇸 US says Senegal debt restructuring should be completed within a year

The United States said Senegal’s request for debt restructuring is a strong test case for the G20 Common Framework, with US Treasury Undersecretary for International Affairs Erin Browne saying on Thursday that Washington wants the process completed in less than a year. Browne spoke after co-chairing a meeting of the Global Sovereign Debt Roundtable with the heads of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank.

Senegal is undergoing debt treatment aimed at restoring fiscal sustainability after a financial crisis triggered by the 2024 discovery of undeclared public debt incurred by the previous administration. On Wednesday, IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said she was optimistic Dakar could renegotiate its debts with creditors.
