Senegal’s President Bassirou Diomaye Faye has reportedly increased pressure on his Prime Minister, Al Aminou Lo, issuing numerous directives during a recent cabinet meeting. The President has tasked the Prime Minister with prioritizing key economic and social issues, including domestic debt, investment, youth employment, fishing, the digital sector, and economic patriotism. A central demand is the accelerated settlement of outstanding state debts to businesses, aiming to alleviate financial difficulties and stimulate economic activity. Faye also instructed Lo to consult with business organizations to address their concerns and coordinate preparations for an upcoming presidential investment council. The move signals a push for rapid results amid private sector expectations and financial constraints. The President’s actions underscore the urgency of implementing the “Sunu Che” initiative and fostering a more favorable business environment.
