Entreprendre au Sénégal : un ralentissement qui interroge les politiques de soutien
In the second quarter of 2025, Senegal recorded 19,686 new registrations in the NINEA, marking a decline of 30.7% compared to the previous quarter and 12.2% year-on-year. This figure highlights a slowdown in the momentum of business creation, as the economy struggles to regain a sustained pace after several years of mixed growth.
The majority of new structures remain sole proprietorships, representing 68.8% of the total, compared to only 17% for legal entities. This distribution reflects a persistent preference for simple forms of entrepreneurship, but also a certain fragility of the formal economic fabric.
Despite this slowdown, the entrepreneurial sector continues to play a key role in the Senegalese economy. Small, often individual, initiatives support local employment and foster small-scale innovation, even if they struggle to generate broader value chains.
This context encourages consideration of more targeted support measures, ranging from access to financing to the simplification of procedures, in order to stimulate the creation of more structured and resilient businesses, capable of contributing sustainably to national growth.
