II. ECONOMIC SECTORS
II.1 AGRICULTURE AND FISHING
The Agriculture and fishing sector makes an important contribution to both the domestic food
supply and export revenue.
The principal cash crops are groundnuts.
Groundnuts, millet, sorghum, maize, rice and vegetables are used for domestic consumption.
Other products include peanuts, corn, sorghum, cotton, tomatoes, cattle, poultry, pigs, rice,
millet, fish and green vegetables.
II.2 MINING
Mining is spearheaded by the extraction of calcium phosphates.
Deposits of salt, fuller's earth and natural gas are also exploited.
III.3 MANUFACTURING
ICDT’s Member States Business Guides
The manufacturing sector is spearheaded by food-processing (notably fish, groundnuts and
sugar), chemical and textiles.
Imported petroleum is refined in Dakar.
II.4 TOURISM
Tourism is a major source of foreign exchange.
Several sites have been selected, some of which have already been developed:
¾ The "Petite Côte";
¾ The Lower basin of Casamance;
¾ The Saloum Islands;
¾ Gandiole;
¾ The Western coastline of Dakar;
¾ Retba Lake.
III. INFRASTRUCTURES
III.1 ROAD NETWORK
Senegal has about 15.000 kms of road network including 5.000 kms of tarred roads.
Land transportation covers about 65% of goods traffic and 90% of the travel of individuals.
Senegal's road network includes three primary lines: the central line of Dakar-KaolackTambacounda-Kidira (the Malian border), the north line to Mauritania, and the south line
towards the Gambia and the Casamance region. Currently two major roads are being
rehabilitated: the road leading from Dakar down to Ziguinchor in southern Senegal via Kaolack,
and the road from Tambacounda north to Ourossogui on the Mauritania border.
Both projects are important in facilitating national and international travel, as the DakarZiguinchor road traverses the Gambia, and the Tambacounda-Kidira-Bakel-Ourossogui road
extends to the borders of Mali and Mauritania.
Indeed, the road through the Tambacounda region will be important in integrating Senegal into
its neighboring countries' economies, and in promoting the region's promising unexploited gold
and iron ore deposits.
III.2 RAIL NETWORK
The railway network of Senegal extends to the greater part of the country as well as to the
Republic of Mali.
Its major and secondary routes are used in the transportation of mineral and agricultural
products.
The Dakar-Bamako rail route, jointly operated by the "Société Nationale des Chemins du Fer du
Senegal" (SNCFS) and the "Société des Chemins du Fer du Mali" (SCFM), represents great trade
and investment potential with 95 percent of its traffic in freight and the remainder in passengers.
Senegal continues to dominate foreign freight transport to Mali, transporting 90 percent of all
freight sent to Mali. The other 10 percent usually transits through Cote d'Ivoire.
The railroad is a challenge for regional integration.
III.3 AIR TRANSPORT
2
ICDT’s Member States Business Guides
The Dakar International Airport is linking Senegal to the rest of the world.
This air routes is developed through several agreements concluded with many countries of
Europe and the Americas, and also with arab and asian countries.
Thus, planes of big airline companies land at and take off from Dakar Yoff airport, wich has all
necessary infrastructure.
Air transport has historically been limited by Senegal's membership in ASECNA (the
Association for the Safety of Air Navigation in Africa and Madagascar) and Air Afrique, which
hold quasi-monopolies over transport and air navigation. Dakar is the only airport in the
UEMOA regional grouping that receives direct flights from the United States (New York).
As Senegal is a member of ASECNA and Air Afrique.
Nationally, Air Senegal has exclusive traffic rights, in addition to its rights to serve neighboring
countries. Steps are being taken to better coordinate operations between Air Afrique and Air
Senegal. Plans have also been in the works since 1995 to privatize Air Senegal.
III.4 MARITIME TRANSPORT
The Autonomous Port of Dakar occupies a privileged position on the maritime route of West
Africa. In addition to its traffic services in Senegal, it provides services to Mali, facilitated by the
Dakar Bamako railway link and secondary ports.
It offers modern installations for traffic services and supplies to boats of up to 28.000 tons in the
external part of its harbour, which is well equipped, and with shelter.
The port is vast in expanse of water, the area layout and warehouses:
- 30 hectares surface area;
- A nearly 60.000 metres of warehouses representing a capacity of 150.000 cu yards;
- More than 10 kms of quay, half of which have the depth of 8 to 11 metres, offering about
forty docking spaces for big ships.
The independent port of Dakar (PAD), a parastatal operation, runs maritime activities at
Senegal's largest natural port facility. While Senegal has a geographic advantage in being the
western most country in Africa, problems such as high factor costs often mitigate any advantages
it draws from its location. The PAD is looking for ways to become more competitive.
Maritime transport development plans include a rehabilitation of secondary ports (Kaolack,
Ziguinchor, Foundiougne, St. Louis), the active recruitment of private partners, the complete
privatization of the management of COSENAM (an agency that groups all public and private
navigation enterprises), the carrying out of export feasibility studies (60 percent of current ocean
going exports go to Europe and Senegal would like to expand this trade), and better security at
the port.
III.5 TELECOMMUNICATIONS
The Senegalese telecommunications market is changing quickly. At the center of this shake-up
are a new regulatory environment and the privatization of "SONATEL", the telecommunications
monopoly. According to the international telecommunications union (ITU), Senegal has one of
the most efficient telecommunications networks in West Africa.
The sector has great potential for expansion as Senegal's urban population increases. Needs for
the telephone infrastructure expansion will create business opportunities in basic switching
equipment and supplies. There is a growing demand for value-added services, which are under
the free competition regime.
3
ICDT’s Member States Business Guides
After the deregulation of telecommunications monopoly, in January 1996, the new telecom law
has open the way for the privatization of SONATEL, and for the liberalization of portions of the
telecommunications sector.
With its capital city located on the westernmost point of Africa, Senegal gives excellent access to
the continent.
It has registered one of the highest improvements in main telephone line penetration - number of
lines per 100 inhabitants - in the period 1990-1995, with an increase from 0.60 to 0.98.
The number of installed telephone lines has increased from 33,097 in 1985 to 114,093 in 1995,
70 percent of which are in the Dakar region. SONATEL is also improving and expanding rural
telephony. The company has devoted more than 6 percent of its investment to rural
communications, and by the year 2005, at least 2,000 villages - compared to 400 in 1997 - will
have access to the telephone network.
A GSM digital cellular network came into operation in September 1996, with SONATEL being
the sole cellular operator. After one year of existence and despite high subscriber costs, the
cellular network has had tremendous success. The network covers Dakar and an area within a 80
km radius of Dakar. Sonatel plans to expand cellular coverage to Saint-Louis, Kaolack, Diourbel
and Touba.
The network currently accommodates 4,000 subscribers, well above the 500 initially planned by
Sonatel. Under the policy of guided deregulation, telecommunication authorities will license in
1998 a competing operator in cellular communications.
The infrastructure available in this field offers to users in Senegal the possibility of reaching
about 70% of subscribers throughout the world through automatic system in both ways.
Senegal has a telecommunication by satellite earth station, an under water cable centre of more
than 5000 telephone circuits, an international telex centre, two transmission centres and a short
waves system.
There are no restrictions on the import of telecommunications equipment.
III.6 INDUSTRIAL AREAS
In order to facilitate the installation of industries, the Senegalese State has developed areas and
sectors in Dakar and inside the country. Tourist development areas have also been identified.
The major development areas are:
• The free industrial zone of Dakar destined for export promoting enterprises;
• Industrial areas which have premises destined for small and medium enterprises, in
Dakar, Thiès, Kaolack, Ziguinchor and Saint Louis;
• Handcraft zone of Dakar with plots where services are provided for small and medium
industries;
• The fishing quay of the Port of Dakar.

V. FOREIGN INVESTMENT
V.1 OPENNESS TO FOREIGN INVESTMENT
The Government officially welcomes foreign investment. There is no discrimination against
businesses conducted or owned by foreign investors. In fact, there are no barriers regarding 100
percent ownership of businesses by foreign investors in most sectors. The government has
stopped participating in foreign investment projects.
7
ICDT’s Member States Business Guides
Senegal’s investment code provides equitable treatment for foreign and local firms, as well as
special incentives to companies willing to locate outside the Dakar Region.
The Code defines eligibility for investment incentives according to a firm’s size and type of
activity, the amount of the potential investment and the location of the project.
V.2 INCENTIVES TO FOREIGN INVESTORS
To qualify for incentives, the investment must be of at least CFA five million (USD 8,333) and
must create a minimum of three jobs. Enterprises operating in "priority" sectors are eligible for
investment code advantages.
These sectors include agriculture, fishery and animal rearing, related industries for processing,
storage and preservation of vegetable, animal or sea products, and related industries,
manufacturing, tourism, mineral exploration and mining, banking and financial institutions,
trading complexes, and cultural activities.
All benefit from the "Common Regime" which includes two years exoneration from duties on
imports of goods not produced locally for small and medium sized firms, and three years for all
others. Also included is exoneration from direct and indirect taxes for the same period.
Exoneration from the Minimum Personal Income Tax and from the Business License Tax is
granted to investors who use local resources for at least 65 percent of their total inputs within a
fiscal year. Enterprises that locate in less-industrialized areas of Senegal benefit from exemption
of the lump sum payroll tax of three percent, with the exoneration running from five to 12 years,
depending on the location of the investment.
The investment code provides for exemption from income tax, duties and other taxes, phased out
progressively over the last three years of the exoneration period. Incentives are automatically
granted to investment projects meeting the above criteria.
The establishment of the Export-Investment Promotion Agency (APIEX) is designed to replace
the one-stop window ("Guichet Unique") at the Ministry of Finance and reduce administrative
regulations.
Senegal has also approved a new strategy for support for private sector growth which includes
rationalization of numerous and for the most part, moribund private sector support structures.
In addition to the traditional guarantees offered to investors: free transfer of capital and income
and equal treatment (foreign and domestic private entities are permitted to establish and own
business and to engage in most forms of remunerative activity), other advantages granted cover
both a firm’s investment and operation. Local majority ownership is not necessary. Of the stateowned firms recently privatized, several were sold in part or in whole to foreign entities.
Application for authorisation are examined within a maximum period of 30 days and all
administrative formalities for setting up enterprises (authorisation to set up an enterprise,
taxation identification, registration number of each enterprise etc...) are handled by the Single
Counter.
Furthermore, provisions have been made for additional specific advantages for SME and for
enterprises which utilised local resources, thus promoting technological innovation or activities
located outside Zone A.
The duration of the validity of the advantages attached to operations varies from five to twelve
years, subject to the zone of installation:
− Five years for the districts of Dakar and Pikine as well as Rufisque and Bargny (Zone A);
8
ICDT’s Member States Business Guides
− Seven years for the districts of Sangalkham and Sebikotane as well as Thies (Zone B);
− Ten years for the regions of Diourbel, Louga and Kaolack (Zone C);
− Twelve years for the regions of Fatick, Kolda, Tambacounda, Ziguichor and Saint Louis
(Zone D).
These advantages decrease over the least three years of the authorisation (successively 75%, 50%
and 25% of duties charges).
V.3 INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES
Major investments have been made in the hydraulics sectors: large-scaleprojects are underway to
complete the Diama and Manantali Dams on the Senegal River and build the Balingot, Kekereti
and Kouya Dams on the Gambia. The government also has plans to construct the Cayor Canal,
which will supply the Dakar region with drinking water. Lastly, work is being done to revitalize
fossilized valleys.
Other investments opportunities are: mines (deposits of phosphates, attapulgite, iron, marble,
ilmenite, gold, peat, gas and oil, limestone and clay and diamond).

VI. CONVERSION AND TRANSFER POLICIES
There are no restrictions on the transfer or repatriation of capital and income earned, or
investments financed with convertible foreign exchange.
Though individuals are limited for foreign currency they may obtain for trips outside of Senegal,
commercial transfers are normally carried out rapidly and in full by local banking institutions.
The CFA franc, used by Senegal and 13 other African countries, was devalued in January 1994,
but remains pegged to the French Franc and the Euro at the rate of 100 CFA equals 1 FF.
Senegal has recently lifted all restrictions related to foreign exchange controls. Foreign exchange
payments are no longer submitted to the authorization of the Ministry of Finance; they are
directly executed by Senegal’s commercial banks instead. There is free convertibility of the CFA
Franc via the banking system for commercial transactions. The rate varies daily according to the
French Franc-U.S. dollar rate. CFA Franc banknotes are not legal tender outside of the
"UEMOA". Travelers may exchange foreign currency for CFA Francs without limit at
commercial banks. Travelers may obtain limited but adequate amounts of French Francs or other
foreign currencies or travelers checks at banks upon presentation of a valid airline ticket, or at
privately run foreign exchange bureaus.

ICDT’s Member States Business Guides
VII. FINANCIAL AND BANKING SYSTEM
The West African Central Bank (BCEAO), a central bank common to the eight members of the
West African Economic and Monetary Union (UEMOA), governs Senegal’s banking system.
Along with BCEAO, the "Commission Bancaire" is a supranational supervisory entity created in
April 1990 to control financial institutions. The eight-member countries use the CFA Franc,
issued by the BCEAO and pegged to the French currency at a rate of 100 CFA Francs to one
French Franc. Parity and fixed convertibility are guaranteed by the French Treasury: BCEAO has
an operating account at the French treasury where it is required to hold at least 65 percent of its
foreign exchange reserves.
Seven commercial banks operate in Senegal after the costly restructuring of the banking system
in the late 1980s, and an eighth, ECOBANK, opened in 1999.
The system is characterized by the overliquidity of banks and their hesitancy to lend at medium
and long term. BCEAO has endeavored to encourage the flow of lending by reducing the
discount rate several times.
The largest commercial banks are predominantly French.
Citibank, the only U.S. bank present in the country, is also very active.
ECOBANK has an impressive network spread throughout West and part of Central Africa. Other
financial institutions such as insurance companies, a venture capital firm and a leasing company
are also present here. The International Finance Corporation (IFC), the private sector lending
arm of the World Bank, has a regional office in Dakar.
Senegal is just entering the world of capital markets with the institution of the West African
Regional Stock Exchange – BRVM – headquartered in Abidjan with local offices in each of the
UEMOA countries. The Regional Council for Savings and Investment regulates UEMOA
securities exchange market. The implementation of the BRVM is seen as instrumental in
Senegal’s attempt to attract increased foreign capital and to give private investors access to more
diversified sources of financing. As a result, the UEMOA’s corporate bond market has been very
active the last few years.
VIII. INVESTMENT AGREEMENTS
VIII.1 BILATERAL INVESTMENT AGREEMENTS
Senegal has signed bilateral investment agreements for protection of investment with France,
United States of America, Switzerland, Denmark, Finland, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, South
Korea, Romania, Japan, and Australia.
Those agreements provided for Most Favored Nations treatment for investors, internationally
recognized standards of compensation in the event of expropriation, free transfer of capital and
profits, and procedures in dispute settlement.
Senegal has concluded tax treaties with France, Mali and the French-speaking African member
states of the UEMOA.
VIII.2 MULTILATERAL INVESTMENT AGREEMENTS
Senegal is a member of the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA), an arm of the
World Bank.
It is a member of several regional and international organizations, notabily:
11
