Just boarded my flight to Calgary, after a whirlwind week at the United Nations Staff College in Bonn, to attend the Global Changemaker Academy, a sort of land restoration boot camp for global parliamentarians. 29 MPs and Senators, from 29 countries. What an inspiring week, what a privilege to have been in the company of such remarkable lecturers and classmates! #GCAP2025 #UnitedNations #Bonn #SenateofCanada #cdnpoli #United4Land

credo tu ti riferisca alle accise, quelle già ci sono quindi il bollo è un "doppione" senza senso 🙃

Danish politicians are spending an incredible amount of money these days and none of it seems to benefit us Danes.
The money for general strengthening of the Danish infrastructure is still missing.
One could almost wish that we had a Chinese Minister of the Interior who could be responsible for the construction of Denmark. In China, the country is undergoing rapid development.

Non capisco le persone che si fanno prestare i soldi per fare le ferie.

Ma cosa sperano, di crepare prima di aver finito di restituirli (magari facendo pure gli straordinari), così ci pensano gli eredi?

Se sei in grado di restituire un prestito sei pure in grado di mettere da parte dei soldi (e senza interessi)… o è troppo difficile da capire?

@Scimmia di Mare @rag. Gustavino Bevilacqua ma il mutuo per la prima casa non sono le ferie

il mutuo è per pagare qualcosa che bene o male mantiene il suo valore *e* che è indispensabile, quindi se tu non pagassi il mutuo dovresti comunque pagare un affitto

o un altro caso in cui un prestito può avere senso è per pagare degli strumenti di lavoro, grazie ai quali nel tempo riguadagni quello che hai speso.

ma le ferie sono una cosa che una volta fatta al massimo ti lascia dei bei ricordi, e si possono avere dei bei ricordi anche facendo attività più economiche

Senegal’s Hidden Debt Crisis


Senegal faces a hidden debt crisis, deficit surges to 10 percent of GDP and IMF suspends multi-billion dollar funding.

Senegal is facing a severe financial crisis after the new government uncovered billions of dollars in hidden debt. Fiscal audits revealed that the budget deficit and public debt were far higher than previously reported by the former administration. The findings prompted the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to suspend a funding program worth nearly two billion dollars. This revelation shook investor confidence and raised serious questions about Senegal’s fiscal transparency.

Deficit Doubles in Scale


The Court of Auditors revealed that by the end of 2023 the deficit had reached more than 10 percent of GDP. This figure is double the official numbers, which previously reported a deficit of about 5 percent. Public debt was also revised upward from 74 percent to nearly 100 percent of GDP. Some analysts even placed the figure closer to 119 percent, meaning hidden liabilities of roughly 13 billion dollars.

The report triggered shockwaves in financial markets. Senegal’s eurobonds tumbled, while borrowing costs soared. Barclays and S&P Global placed Senegal among Africa’s most debt-distressed countries. The new government is under growing pressure to restore investor trust and secure renewed international support.

IMF Suspends Its Program


The IMF, which had approved a financing program of around 1.8 billion dollars, decided to suspend disbursement until Senegal provides greater transparency. “We need full data and clear remedial measures before resuming the program,” an IMF spokesperson told Reuters.

This decision further worsened Senegal’s fiscal troubles. Without IMF funds, the government struggles to cover immediate budgetary needs. Infrastructure projects risk being delayed, while public services face potential cuts.

Government’s Recovery Plan


Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko announced a recovery strategy that relies heavily on domestic financing. The government pledged to fund up to 90 percent of its recovery plan from domestic sources without taking on new foreign debt. Another key measure is economic rebasing, or recalculating GDP, which was last done in 2018. The rebasing is expected to make debt-to-GDP ratios look more sustainable.

The government has also postponed quarterly budget execution reports to ensure accuracy in published data. Transparency is now the central pillar of its fiscal reform, as credibility must be rebuilt from the ground up.

Social and Political Impact


The hidden debt crisis has not only shaken the economy but also stirred political tension. Citizens are questioning the integrity of former officials who allegedly concealed true fiscal numbers. At the same time, President Bassirou Diomaye Faye’s administration faces the difficult task of maintaining social stability amid tightening economic conditions.

Political analysts argue that this crisis could become a turning point for genuine fiscal reform. Yet without international backing and effective debt management, Senegal risks slipping deeper into economic distress.

Market Reactions


Global markets responded with caution. Senegal’s eurobonds, once considered attractive, are now trading at steep discounts. Investors demand higher yields due to increased default risk, driving up the cost of borrowing.

International credit rating agencies have also warned of possible downgrades if the situation does not improve. A downgrade would further damage Senegal’s position in global capital markets.

The Road Ahead


The Senegalese government stands at a crossroads. On one side, it must quickly regain fiscal credibility and secure IMF support. On the other, it faces urgent domestic development needs that cannot be postponed. The combination of domestic financing, improved transparency, and economic rebasing may offer temporary relief.

However, economists caution that these measures are not enough. Senegal must pursue structural reforms in debt management, strengthen public accounting systems, and establish independent oversight to prevent misreporting from recurring. Support from multilateral institutions and donor countries will be vital to determine the success of Senegal’s recovery.

Conclusion


Senegal’s hidden debt crisis is a stark reminder that fiscal transparency is essential for economic stability. The country now faces the challenge of balancing development needs with financial discipline. The government’s ability to manage this crisis will shape Senegal’s future reputation in international markets.

Da #LivelloSegreto seguo un utente con account su mastodon.social

Se lo cerco lo trovo e lo leggo, ma non vedo i suoi toot nella lista in cui l'ho inserito (nemmeno nella home, ma questo perché le utenze nella lista le ho volutamente nascoste dalla home).

È perché LS ha bloccato mastodon.social?
Questo impedisce di vedere i contenuti degli utenti che comunque ho deciso di seguire per i fatti miei?

in reply to vanblessed

no, è possibile seguire mastodon.social senza problemi.

Non ho capito se non vedi i suoi toot in generale o solamente nella lista in cui l'hai inserito.

in reply to Ed

sì, vedevo il profilo e i suoi toot cercandolo dalla barra di ricerca (su browser) ma non vedevo il suo ultimo toot nella lista dove l'avevo messo.

Ora in realtà vedo tutto e mi sa che forse ho sbagliato io e non ho scorso la lista fino al punto in cui, cronologicamente, si trovava il toot in questione. @capetaun @kenobit

Interestingly Gillian Tett (FT) concludes that while a decade ago the talk was of China becoming more like the US, now in his second term, Trump's move to what Tett refers to as 'patriotic capitalism' (including the recent expansion of sate - partial - ownership of key US firms), the USA is starting to look a lot more like China.

Its an interesting potentiality (its nowhere near that yet) but I think she has the direction of travel right if Trump continues his current policy moves.

#politics

in reply to Emeritus Prof Christopher May

isn't it all just good old-fashioned state-capitalism? Like bailing out the banks or subsidising aeroplanes? The Trump difference seems to be that he isn't at home in statist jargon, only capitalist jargon. Although, admittedly, he is inadvertently doing tariffs and industrial policy like an anti-globalist communist would.

Saturday afternoon coffee walk with husband. Then friend came over to drink wine, eat cheese, and watch a couple of movies with me. The Thursday Murder Club movie was the headliner today. It was a pleasant way to while away an afternoon.
Husband left us alone while he did his own thing. Emerged to find he is slow-cooking Chilli Con Carne for tomorrow night's dinner. The house smells detectably spicy.
Perhaps I'll just have a smidge more cheese and another glass of wine before I have a bath and get into my PJs. Saturday nights are full on around here.

Nous les profs, on a reçu un courriel dans la messagerie académique

je me suis permise de le traduire :

"Chers et chères garderies ambulantes,

Alors que recommence le cirque annuel, je vous balance ce message pour sauver les apparences : ça fait plus humain qu’un tableau Excel et mon service de com est formel, vous aimez qu’on vous cause.

Vous portez sur vos épaules l’ambition qu’on fait miroiter à l’École, cette vitrine républicaine low cost qui tient debout parce que vous n’avez pas trouvé la sortie de secours. Entre les refus massifs de ruptures conventionnelles et vos démissions bloquées, vous êtes coincé·e·s, donc parfaits pour écoper ce Titanic de troisième zone qui prend l’eau de toutes parts. Ne vous inquiétez pas : nous vous offrirons une cuillère en plastique recyclé par an.

Par votre abnégation forcée, vous évitez l’effondrement complet de la façade décrépite de la République, et surtout vous occupez les mômes pendant que leurs parents font semblant de bosser, ces feignasses qu’on devrait presser encore plus, ou survivent au SMIC, sans parler des parasites au RSA qu’on enverra bientôt trimer pour encore moins, handicapés compris. Merci de nous éviter d’avoir à inventer une vraie politique sociale.

Chaque rentrée, on vous ressert les mêmes mots creux — « continuité », « espoir » — pour faire croire que ce n’est pas juste un hamster qui reprend sa roue, fatigué mais discipliné.

Nos priorités sont claires (sur PowerPoint seulement).
La première, c’est « protéger l’École » : autrement dit, donner l’illusion. Pas de surveillants, pas d’infirmières, mais des slogans, un hashtag anti-harcèlement, l’interdiction du portable au collège. En bonus, des cellules d’écoute où personne ne décroche, et des stages obligatoires pendant vos trop longues vacances.

La deuxième, c’est « préparer » : à serrer les dents. Repeindre les programmes de français et de maths pour la énième fois, caser un peu d’« éducation affective » pour meubler, et bricoler encore le bac pour qu’il ait l’air d’un diplôme, même s’il vaut un ticket de métro usagé.

Pour les filles, on sort le plan « Filles et Maths » : zéro budget, mais une jolie infographie PowerPoint (mon amour), couleurs garanties.

Bref, notre objectif commun : faire croire à l’émancipation de la jeunesse alors qu’on continue de la parquer et de la trier comme toujours.

Je sais pouvoir compter sur votre sens du devoir, c’est-à-dire votre résignation, en vous promettant mon « soutien indéfectible »… tant que vous ne faites pas grève, que vous restez bien sages et que vous ne rencontrez aucun problème avec un ou une élève. Suicidez-vous si vous voulez, mais ayez la décence de ne pas utiliser le matériel public pour ce faire..

Ensemble, avec confiance (en nos communicants) et détermination (à ne pas lâcher un centime), nous ferons tenir l’École de la République avec trois bouts de ficelle et beaucoup de storytelling.

Bonne rentrée, et surtout, bonne chance.

E.B.

February, my birthday. We spent the day on the road between Varmahlíð and Akureyri through dramatic Tröllaskagi in northern #Iceland.

2pm and we've reached Krókárdalur, a lovely river canyon with hiking trails.
2:30, wisps of cloud hiding in the folds of Kaldbaksdalur.
3pm, a farm nestled on the flanks of the wonderfully named Gloppufjall.

Come Milano, Berlino e migliaia di altre città. Ma non credo che il fattore economico citato nel pezzo sia il motivo principale di questa crisi, altrimenti non si spiegherebbe l'aumento (in numero e prezzo) dei biglietti per i live. Semmai il crescere dei costi per i gestori. La discriminante credo sia il desiderio di unicità/instagrammibilità che porta le persone a cercare di vivere ogni volta esperienze diverse. #Londra non balla più | il manifesto ilmanifesto.it/londra-non-ball…
