塞内加尔强大的反对派人物兼议会领袖奥斯曼·桑科周一谴责了西非国家计划用来应对其惊人债务的机制，预测民众将感受到沉重的刺痛。塞内加尔正面临着截至2024年底总公共部门债务负担估计占国内生产总值132%的问题，其中一部分债务曾由前总统马基·萨尔领导的前政府隐瞒。上个月，国际货币基金组织宣布与塞内加尔达成一项为期36个月、金额为22亿美元的新债务计划，旨在稳定该国公共财政。
Senegal's powerful opposition figure and parliamentary leader Ousmane Sonko on Monday denounced the mechanism the west African nation plans to use to address its staggering debt, predicting that the population would feel a heavy sting. Senegal is grappling with a total public-sector debt burden estimated at 132 percent of GDP at the end of 2024, a portion of which had been concealed by the previous administration under ex-president Macky Sall .Last month the International Monetary Fund announced an agreement with Senegal on a new 36-month, $2.2 billion debt programme aimed at stabilising the country's public finances.
当时，塞内加尔确认将实施所谓“20国集团共同框架”的“加强版”。该机制由世界上最富有的国家于2020年引入，旨在在严格条件下帮助困难国家取消部分债务。“塞内加尔不需要去20国集团进行简单的债务重整练习。它不需要成为这项20国集团倡议的小白鼠”，桑科周一对记者说，他同时也担任国民议会议长。他说，该做法对塞内加尔施加了“附加条件”，这些条件在总统巴西鲁·迪奥马耶·法耶提交给议会、即将审议的2027年预算文件中显而易见。
At the time, Senegal confirmed it would implement an "enhanced version" of what is known as the "G20 Common Framework".The mechanism, introduced by the world's richest countries in 2020, is meant to help struggling nations cancel some of their debts under strict conditions." Senegal did not need to go to the G20 for a simple debt reprofiling exercise. It did not need to serve as a guinea pig for this G20 initiative", Sonko, who also serves as speaker of the National Assembly, told the press Monday. He said the approach had imposed "conditionalities" on Senegal, which are apparent in the 2027 budget documents that President Bassirou Diomaye Faye has submitted to parliament, which is set to review them soon.
桑科曾担任法耶的总理，但在数月的分歧之后于5月被解职。他说，预算提案大幅削减了社会支出和投资，具体指出了教育、就业、培训以及电力和石油产品补贴。“这是一份旨在偿还对塞内加尔人民隐瞒的债务的紧缩预算。
Sonko had served as Faye's prime minister but was dismissed in May following months of disagreement. He said the budget proposals drastically cut social spending and investment, specifically citing education, employment, training and subsidies for electricity and petroleum products." This is an austerity budget designed to pay off debts that were hidden from the Senegalese people.
我们不能接受它”，他说，批评国际货币基金组织是“隐性债务的同谋”。他说，这种情况对他的Pastef党来说是不可接受的，任何僵局都将是行政部门的“唯一责任”。协议达成后，在9月初，塞内加尔总理阿赫迈杜·阿尔·阿米努·穆罕默德·洛排除了采取任何“剧烈调整”措施或对社会部门产生负面影响的可能性。
We cannot accept it", he said, criticising the IMF as an "accomplice to the hidden debt".He said the situation was unacceptable to his Pastef party, and that any deadlock would be the "sole responsibility" of the executive branch. In early September following the agreement, Senegal's Prime Minister Ahmadou Al Aminou Mohamed Lo ruled out taking any "drastic adjustment" measures or negatively impact social sectors.
