For Senegal to reach Plan Sénégal Emergent (PSE) objectives, reforms under the PSE need to create space for small and medium-sized enterprises and foreign direct investment to thrive. Reform of Senegal’s business environment needs to be accelerated. Macrostructural reforms should be stepped up in the energy sector, in which Senegal still ranks 170th in the world. Progress in the electricity sector can be achieved by continuing to improve reliability of supply and reduce electricity costs. Reform of the taxation system, by simplifying procedures and optimizing the tax rates, is another macro-critical area in which Senegal needs to make significant strides.IMF Staff Country Reports; Country Report ;No. 2017/002Exports and ImportsimfInvestments: GeneralimfPublic FinanceimfTaxationimfAgribusinessimfTrade: GeneralimfTaxation, Subsidies, and Revenue: GeneralimfInvestmentimfCapitalimfIntangible CapitalimfCapacityimfAgriculture: GeneralimfLabor Economics: GeneralimfInternational economicsimfPublic finance & taxationimfMacroeconomicsimfAgricultural economicsimfLabourimfincome economicsimfRevenue administrationimfExportsimfPrivate investmentimfExport performanceimfAgricultural sectorimfInternational tradeimfNational accountsimfExport diversificationimfRevenueimfSaving and investmentimfAgricultural industriesimfLabor economicsimfSenegalEconomic conditionsSenegalimfExports and ImportsInvestments: GeneralPublic FinanceTaxationAgribusinessTrade: GeneralTaxation, Subsidies, and Revenue: GeneralInvestmentCapitalIntangible CapitalCapacityAgriculture: GeneralLabor Economics: GeneralInternational economicsPublic finance & taxationMacroeconomicsAgricultural economicsLabourincome economicsRevenue administrationExportsPrivate investmentExport performanceAgricultural sectorInternational tradeNational accountsExport diversificationRevenueSaving and investmentAgricultural industriesLabor economicsDcWaIMFBOOK9910160291903321SENEGAL633708UNINA
