Senegal GDP Growth To Shrink To Less Than 3% Due To Coronavirus – President

Senegal’s economic growth will fall to less than 3% in 2020 from a forecast 6.8% because of the coronavirus, President Macky Sall said on Friday.

“Our sustained economic growth over several years is being brutally curbed,” Sall said in a speech, adding that the West African country’s tourism industry would be among the sectors worst-hit by the epidemic.
