It reviews the national economic context and identifies obstacles to private-sector growth, focusing on an uneven playing field, limited access to finance, energy constraints, and connectivity gaps. The report then outlines how emerging Senegal can be unlocked across key sectors, especially agriculture and agri-business and services, supported by data, references, and annexes.","A COUNTRY PRIVATE SECTOR DIAGNOSTIC  \nCREATING MARKETS IN SENEGAL  \nblisclosure Authorized u li iD sc os re Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized  \nSustaining growth in an uncertain environment  \nAPRIL 2020  \nAbout IFC  \nIFC—a sister organization of the World Bank and member of the World Bank Group—is the largest global development institution focused on the private sector in emerging markets.
