[Profil] Ancien du Prytanée, as de la finance, cerveau de « Sénégal 2050 » : Tout sur le nouveau PM Al Aminou Lo !
Ahmadou Alhaminou Mohamed LO's career illustrates the methodical rise of a technocrat from the most demanding circles of West African public finance, now called upon to lead the Prime Minister's office.
Aged 60, this economist by training has established himself as a specialist in macroeconomic policies, banking regulation, financial markets, and Islamic finance. His academic journey began at the Prytanée Militaire de Saint-Louis, where he distinguished himself in 1985 by graduating top of his class with a scientific baccalaureate with honors. He then continued his studies at Cheikh Anta Diop University in Dakar, supplemented by specialized banking training at the West African Center for Banking Studies and Training, before further enhancing his expertise in 2023 with an Executive Master's degree in Islamic Finance from INCEIF University in Kuala Lumpur.
It was at the Central Bank of West African States (BCEAO) that he built the bulk of his career, starting in 1987. He gradually climbed the ranks there, moving from technical roles to management responsibilities: treasury, market operations, banking activities, information systems, and then national director for Senegal. In 2024, he reached the top of the institution, becoming Secretary General of the BCEAO.
Within the central bank, he is at the heart of major financial issues in the sub-region: supporting Senegal's sovereign bond issuances on international markets, relations with rating agencies, negotiations with the Bretton Woods institutions, and structuring financing related to strategic sectors, particularly oil and gas. He also participates in discussions on regional monetary integration and the promotion of Islamic finance within the WAEMU (West African Economic and Monetary Union).
Appointed to the government in April 2024, he became Minister Secretary General of the Presidency, a key figure in the administrative coordination of government action. A year later, he was promoted to Minister of State in charge of monitoring the National Transformation Agenda "Senegal 2050," overseeing its operational implementation and evaluation.
His appointment to the Prime Minister's office thus confirms the profile of a senior civil servant well-versed in regional and international financial mechanisms, already at the heart of the state apparatus since the beginning of the new governance, and now in charge of leading the executive.
