The audit, ordered by President Bassirou Diomaye Faye, showed a budget deficit of over 10% of GDP and a debt-to-GDP ratio exceeding 80%. Moody's Ratings downgraded Senegal's credit rating, leading to a selloff of Eurobonds. Senegal's natural resources industry is under review, with significant oil and gas projects expected to boost economic growth.
