Summary

This paper presents key findings of the Third Review under the Policy Support Instrument (PSI) for Senegal. The budgetary slippages, which had seriously affected the economy and put Senegal’s PSI-supported program at risk, have been successfully addressed. In line with program commitments, the government’s unpaid bills have been substantially reduced and far-reaching public financial management reforms launched. A temporary fiscal easing relative to earlier program targets is envisaged for 2009 to help counter the impact of the external shock.
