<\/div>

By Professor Amath Ndiaye, FASEG-Cheikh Anta Diop.<\/p>\n

By refusing to adjust domestic energy prices despite a sustained oil shock, Senegal is choosing a short-term social cushion. But this choice, politically rational, is becoming increasingly costly economically. As the barrel approaches $100, the budget bill explodes and dangerously reduces the state’s room for maneuver.<\/p>\n

A social cushion… at the cost of budget drift<\/p>\n

In a context of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, maintaining administered energy prices helps contain inflation and preserve household purchasing power. This choice is all the more understandable as energy is a transversal good, the effects of which spread throughout the economy.<\/p>\n

But this policy amounts to transferring the external shock to public finances.<\/p>\n

The figures are clear. Based on recent budget assumptions:<\/p>\n

– At a barrel price of around $64, energy subsidies are estimated at 250 billion CFA francs;
\n– At $77, they already reach nearly 408 billion CFA francs.<\/p>\n

The implicit relationship is clear: each $1 increase in the barrel price represents about 12 billion CFA francs in additional charges for the state.<\/p>\n

Under these conditions, a barrel at $100 would raise subsidies to nearly 680 billion CFA francs, almost tripling the initial level.<\/p>\n

A scissor effect on public finances<\/p>\n

At this level, Senegal is facing a real budget scissor effect:<\/p>\n

– On one side, an explosion of subsidy expenses;
\n– On the other, revenues constrained by economic slowdown.<\/p>\n

An envelope of around 650 to 700 billion CFA francs represents a major shock:<\/p>\n

– It is equivalent to a significant part of annual public investment;
\n– It mechanically increases the budget deficit, potentially adding 2 to 3 percentage points to GDP in the absence of adjustment;
\n– It increases financing needs in a context already marked by difficult borrowing conditions.<\/p>\n

Above all, this dynamic produces a crowding-out effect: resources mobilized to finance subsidies can no longer be directed towards productive expenses, particularly infrastructure or activity support.<\/p>\n

An economically unsustainable medium-term strategy<\/p>\n

Beyond the budget constraint, the non-adjustment of energy prices leads to significant economic distortions. By artificially keeping prices low, the state:<\/p>\n

– Encourages energy overconsumption;
\n– Delays necessary adjustments by economic agents;
\n– Subsidizes wealthier households and energy-intensive companies even more.<\/p>\n

This policy also weakens the country’s macroeconomic credibility. In a context of high debt and increased scrutiny from technical and financial partners, it can be perceived as a signal of budgetary rigidity, potentially increasing the risk premium.<\/p>\n

In reality, Senegal does not eliminate the cost of the oil shock: it shifts it to the state budget.<\/p>\n

The choice is now clear: either a gradual adjustment of prices, accompanied by targeted social protection measures, or an accelerated deterioration of macroeconomic balances.<\/p>\n
