Senegalese GDP growth in the first half of the year is expected to increase from 5.3% to 4.1%. This situation can be explained by the tense socio-political situation which weighed on the activity of the trade and services sectors during the first half of this year. In the same vein, new inflationary pressures from some food staples and forecasts for average inflation in 2023 have been revised upwards from 5% to 6.1%.
