Senegal President Bassirou Diomaye Faye named a seasoned economist as prime minister on Monday, three days after dismissing the old government led by a firebrand populist who had spoken out against debt restructuring, APA reports citing Reuters.
The new prime minister, Ahmadou Al Aminou Lo, formerly served as head of the Senegal branch of the Central Bank of West African States.
"We must all be aware of the state of emergency our country currently finds itself in. In particular, the state of public finances and its impact on the economy," he said.
"Senegal is a safe and reliable country and intends to remain so."
