It then looks at the preconditions needed for growth acceleration in Senegal. The paper also discusses options for strengthening Senegal's fiscal framework to support Plan Senegal Emergent (PSE) implementation while keeping risks of debt distress low. It provides an assessment of Senegal's external stability and explores how to improve the structure of the Senegalese economy to make it more competitive with more diversified exports. The paper describes the electricity problem as a major impediment to growth acceleration. Improved revenue performance and expenditure composition are critical for creating the fiscal space to support the PSE. There is an opportunity cost for development spending, as the economy still faces bottlenecks from high electricity costs and insufficient electricity production. The share of the population living below the poverty line and its exposure to shock remains unacceptably high.
