The President of the Republic, Bassirou Diomaye Faye, chaired the Senegal–Spain Economic Forum in Madrid, bringing together public authorities and private sector stakeholders from both countries.
Economic exchanges are experiencing remarkable momentum, marked by a historic performance: Senegalese exports to Spain have reached 388 billion CFA francs (€591 million), compared to 154 billion CFA francs in 2024, representing an increase of 152%. At the same time, imports stand at 315 billion CFA francs (€480 million), resulting for the first time in a trade surplus in Senegal’s favor, with a surplus of 73 billion CFA francs (€111 million).
