Senegal achieved a provisional implementation rate of 76.45% in 2025 for reforms, policies and community projects under the West African Economic and Monetary Union, according to the findings of the union’s annual review presented in Dakar. The assessment covered 145 reforms and five major community projects across sectors including economic governance, agriculture, energy, transport and human development.
Senegal’s Minister of Finance and Budget, Cheikh Diba, described the results as “appreciable” despite a slight decline from the 78.59% recorded in 2024, noting that the performance reflects continued efforts by national institutions and regional authorities.
Officials attributed the 2.14-point decline mainly to weaker performances in economic governance and certain sectoral reforms, particularly in tourism, culture, handicrafts and the business environment.
Authorities also cited delays in transmitting the 2024 report of the Single Window for Filing Financial Statements (GUDEF) to the UEMOA Commission.
However, significant progress was recorded in customs union integration, agriculture, livestock, fisheries, energy and social development.
Abdoulaye Diop welcomed Senegal’s “satisfactory implementation rate,” emphasizing that the review process remains an important tool for deepening economic integration within the regional bloc.
