'Wofür mein Herz schlägt'
Dieses Mahnmal für die Opfer der faschistischen Okkupation 1941 bis 1943 steht bei Amiras auf Kreta. Das Bild steht stellvertretend dafür, wofür mein Herz schlägt: für Gerechtigkeit und Demokratie, gegen Faschismus und Völkerhass. Große Worte, ich weiß. Aber das mit dem Herz ist auch so ein großes Ding für eine kleine Sache wie die Fotografie ...

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?

Senegal’s Hidden Debt Crisis
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.

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?
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.
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.

in reply to ecate85 • • •non credo sia per sembrare benestante, è che le ferie appaiono veramente come quell'unico irrinunciabile momento dell'anno in cui non sei stressato e riposi.
Questo naturalmente è un ragionamento che non sta in piedi, che fa da base a quell'altra stupidaggine di chiedere soldi in prestito per andare in ferie...ma vabbeh...

in reply to ecate85 • • •@ecate85 @rag. Gustavino Bevilacqua sì, ma se non sei benestante le banche non ti prestano quei soldi, perché si aspettano comunque di essere ripagate
e anche le finanziarie di cattiva reputazione coi tassi di interesse di una frazione di punto percentuale sotto al limite legale dell'usura di solito ti fanno la cessione del quinto, e un quinto di stipendio basso non permette di scialare chissà che
E come dice Gustavino, se puoi permetterti di farti trattenere un quinto di stipendio tutto l'anno dopo, puoi anche permetterti di mettere da parte un sesto di stipendio tutto l'anno prima, e andare in ferie con quei soldi

poi per carità, posso capire se ti capita l'occasione di una vita di un viaggio che avresti sempre voluto fare ed è o quest'anno o mai più, e allora può avere senso decidere di chiedere un prestito (e poi magari non andare in ferie — o fare ferie supereconomiche — un paio di anni per recuperare)
ma farlo di anno in anno non ha senso!

in reply to Scimmia di Mare • • •@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
