Au Sénégal, un emprunt de 650 millions d'euros contracté en 2025 via un instrument financier appelé Total Return Swap (TRS) suscite une controverse. L'opposition et la société civile dénoncent un manque de transparence concernant cet emprunt, qui n'apparaît pas dans les lois de finances de 2025 et 2026. Ils estiment que, compte tenu du montant et des risques associés au TRS, l'Assemblée nationale aurait dû être consultée et informée de manière transparente. Le gouvernement justifie cet emprunt par la diversification des instruments financiers, mais l'opposition souligne que le coût du TRS est élevé et les clauses de remboursement désavantageuses. L'opposition réclame un débat à l'Assemblée nationale sur l'état des finances publiques et la stratégie d'endettement du Sénégal.
