Abstract
This paper discusses Senegal’s Seventh Review Under the Policy Support Instrument (PSI) and Request for Modification of Assessment Criteria. GDP growth was lower than expected in 2013 but would increase to 4.9 percent in 2014 with a rebound in agriculture, mining, and industry. All quantitative assessment criteria and indicative targets for end-2013 were met, including on the budget deficit despite a significant revenue shortfall. Structural reform implementation has been slow, with many benchmarks met after their respective deadlines. Despite challenging prospects for 2014, the authorities intend to continue reducing the deficit. The IMF staff recommends completion of the seventh PSI review.

Implementation of HIPC Initiative:
Assistance committed under the original framework is expressed in net present value (NPV) terms at the completion point, and assistance committed under the enhanced framework is expressed in NPV terms at the decision point. Hence these two amounts cannot be added.
Under the enhanced framework, an additional disbursement is made at the completion point corresponding to interest income earned on the amount committed at the decision point but not disbursed during the interim period.

Safeguards Assessments:
The Central Bank of West African States (BCEAO) is a common central bank of the countries of the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAMU). The latest assessment of the BCEAO was completed on December 13, 2013. The assessment found that the bank continued to have a strong control environment and has, with the implementation of the 2010 Institutional Reform of the WAMU, enhanced its governance framework. Specifically, an audit committee was established to oversee the audit and financial reporting processes, transparency has increased with more timely publication of the audited financial statements, and the BCEAO is committed to IFRS implementation by end-2014. The assessment also identified some limitations in the external audit process and recommended that steps be taken to ensure the adequacy of the mechanism through selection of a second experienced audit firm to conduct joint audits.
Exchange System:
Senegal is a member of the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU). The exchange system, common to all members of the union, is free of restrictions on the making of payments and transfers for current international transactions. The union’s common currency, the CFA franc, had been pegged to the French franc at the rate of CFAF 1 = F 0.02. Effective January 12, 1994, the CFA franc was devalued and the new parity set at CFAF 1 = F 0.01. Effective December 31, 1998, the parity was switched to the euro at a rate of CFAF 655.96 = €1.
The authorities confirmed that Senegal had not imposed measures that could give rise to exchange restrictions subject to Fund jurisdiction. They will inform the Fund, if any such measure is introduced.
Aspects of the exchange system were also discussed in the report “WAEMU: Common Policies for Member Countries” (Country Report No. 14/84).
Article IV Consultations:
The latest Article IV consultation was completed by the Executive Board on December 10, 2012 (Country Report No. 12/337). In concluding the 2012 Article IV consultation, Executive Directors commended Senegal’s satisfactory program implementation despite the challenging internal and external environments. They stressed that although a moderate pickup in growth is expected in the near term, the economy remains exposed to substantial risks.
Directors welcomed the authorities’ continued commitment to their program to ensure macroeconomic stability, strengthen the economy’s resilience to shocks, foster higher and sustainable growth, and reduce poverty. Directors noted that, while Senegal still faces a low risk of debt distress, high fiscal deficits and rising debt ratios need to be addressed. They welcomed the authorities’ commitment to keep the deficit under 6 percent in 2012 and their determination to reduce the deficit further in the medium term to levels that are consistent with fiscal and debt sustainability. Directors also highlighted the importance of stronger debt management. They welcomed the recently finalized medium-term debt strategy, and encouraged the authorities to rely primarily on concessional financing.
Directors underscored the need to improve public financial management and government spending efficiency and transparency. They commended ongoing efforts to reduce the cost of running government, streamline public agencies, and rationalize expenditure in key sectors. Directors stressed that phasing out the costly and poorly targeted energy price subsidies while strengthening social safety nets is a priority. Sustained progress in all these areas will be necessary to meet the country’s fiscal objectives and make room for critical social and development needs.
Directors noted that the financial sector is generally robust. However, the rising level of NPLs and concentration of lending need to be closely monitored. To move Senegal to a path of higher, sustainable, and inclusive growth, Directors stressed the need to address infrastructure gaps, remove inefficiencies in government operations, and improve the business climate. They welcomed the tax and customs reforms that are underway and called for timely implementation of the new energy investments and restructuring of SENELEC, the national power utility. Directors also encouraged the authorities to deepen and strengthen the financial system to support their growth strategy.
Financial Sector Assessment Program (FSAP) and Report on the Observance of Standards and Codes (ROSC) Participation:
A joint team of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund conducted a mission under the FSAP program in 2000 and 2001. The Financial System Stability Assessment (FSSA) was issued in 2001 (IMF Country Report No. 01/189). An FSAP update was undertaken in 2004, focusing on development issues (in particular nationwide supply of basic financial services and access of SMEs to credit), in line with the priorities defined in the PRSP (IMF Country Report No. 05/126). A regional FSAP for the WAEMU was undertaken in 2007 and the FSSA was issued in May 2008 (SM/08/139).. A ROSC on the data module was published in 2002. An FAD mission conducted a ROSC on the fiscal transparency module in 2005.

Resident Representative
Stationed in Dakar since July 24, 1984; the position has been held by Mr. Boileau Loko since September 2013.
Anti Money Laundering / Combating the Financing of Terrorism
The onsite visit for Senegal’s AML/CFT evaluation took place in July/August 2007 in the context of ECOWAS’s Inter-Governmental Action Group Against Money Laundering in West Africa (GIABA). The report was adopted in early May 2008 by the GIABA Plenary held in Accra, Ghana. The report highlighted several areas of weaknesses in the AML/CFT system, confirmed by a score of 12 non-compliant and 16 partially compliant ratings out of the 40+9 FATF AML/CFT recommendations. In May 2009 Senegal joined the Egmont Group of Financial Intelligence Units (FIUs). The FIU publishes on its website statistics on suspicious transaction reports received, the number of cases transmitted to the judiciary, and the number of convictions. Senegal’s sixth follow-up report was discussed at GIABA’s May 2014 Plenary. It acknowledged the progress achieved, including the efforts to revise the AML/CFT legal framework in line with the 2012 FATF standard, and encouraged Senegal to continue making improvements. At the same time, it was agreed that Senegal will submit its seventh follow-up report to the GIABA Plenary in May 2015.
