S&P Downgrades Senegal After Government Unveils Debt Rework

  • S&P Global Ratings downgraded Senegal's credit score to 'junk territory' (CC) due to the high likelihood of a distressed debt exchange or default.
  • The downgrade follows Senegal's announcement of a plan to restructure its foreign-currency commercial debt, excluding CFA franc-denominated debt, under the G20 Common Framework.
  • The country also reached a staff-level agreement with the IMF for a new $2.2 billion program, but S&P anticipates creditors will receive less than promised, with potential inclusion of local currency debt in the restructuring.
