Senegal’s Finance Ministry has delayed the release of its Q4 2024 and Q1 2025 budget execution reports to June 23, citing the need to restore data integrity following revelations of a $7 billion off-balance sheet debt scandal. The postponement comes amid intense scrutiny from investors and the IMF, which has frozen discussions on a new support programme until the country fully clarifies its fiscal position.
