Overview and Purpose

• This enhanced review of Senegal’s financial sector is one of several pilot reviews called for by the Executive Board in May 2012.
• Purpose: to go beyond the traditional surveillance focus on banking system soundness and solvency by analyzing in more depth the interplay between:
  • financial development,
  • macroeconomic and financial stability, and
  • effectiveness of macroeconomic policies in low-income countries.
• Scope: focuses on Senegal-specific issues. Senegal is a member of the West African Economic and Monetary Union; a number of key macroeconomic and financial policies are designed and implemented at the union level.
• A complementary pilot study, to be prepared in the context of the next annual consultation on regional policies in early 2013, will focus on union-wide issues.
