Babo Amadou Bâ (Pastef) : « Le FMI ne votera pas le budget à la place des députés »
The International Monetary Fund's (IMF) reaction to the current situation in Senegal has been met with mixed reactions. Yesterday, Thursday, its Director of Communications, Julie Kozack, addressed the rejection of the 2026 Amending Finance Bill and the current handling of the 2027 budget bill in the National Assembly. Babo Amadou Bâ, an economist and member of the Pastef party, offered his opinion on these remarks.
“During her press briefing on November 12, the IMF spokesperson, Julie Kozack, reiterated that Senegalese institutions make decisions within their own legal framework. But she added a crucial requirement: policies agreed upon with IMF staff must be applicable within a coherent budgetary framework,” he emphasized in a text entitled “The IMF will not vote on the budget in place of the members of parliament.”
For him, the central question now is "what exactly are the macroeconomic, budgetary and financial parameters agreed between the Government of Senegal and the IMF services, and to what extent are they included in the 2026 Finance Law and the draft 2027 Finance Law?"
Babo Amadou Bâ believes that the authorities must specify the budgetary commitments agreed with the Fund, but also detail "what revenues, what expenditures, what deficit and what treatment of the debt are included in this trajectory".
“Before asking members of parliament to validate figures, let’s make public the parameters that determine them. Budgetary sovereignty begins with transparency,” he concludes in this opinion piece.
