Les bons chiffres de l'économie au troisième trimestre 2025
Senegal's economic activity is showing a generally positive trajectory in the third quarter of 2025. According to data published this Friday, December 26, by the National Agency for Statistics and Demography (ANSD), real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew by 0.8% compared to the previous quarter. Year-on-year, growth reached 4.2% compared to the same period in 2024, thus consolidating the country's economic recovery.
This quarterly performance is primarily driven by the strength of the secondary sector, which saw a 3.0% increase in its value added. This growth is supported by the chemical industry, oil refining, mining, and food processing. The primary sector also made a positive, albeit modest, contribution (+0.1%), thanks to the excellent performance of the fishing industry, which surged by 16.3%, thus offsetting the 1.2% decline observed in agriculture.
The services sector, on the other hand, saw a slight decline, with a quarterly decrease of 0.1%. This is explained by a decrease in activity in transportation, healthcare, and information and communication services. However, on an annual basis, this sector remains resilient, with growth of 2.4%, driven by trade, public administration, and financial services. National wealth creation, measured by nominal GDP, is now estimated at 4,963.1 billion FCFA for this quarter.
An encouraging sign of diversification is evident in the figures: GDP excluding hydrocarbons and agriculture grew by 0.6% in the quarter. Year-on-year, excluding hydrocarbons, growth stabilized at 1.8%. These figures reflect an economy that is beginning to leverage a variety of drivers, even though extractive industries and refining remain essential engines of gross domestic product.
On the demand side, overall final consumption continued its upward trend, rising 1.6% compared to the previous quarter and 3.3% year-on-year. Investment, measured by Gross Fixed Capital Formation (GFCF), increased by 1.5% over the quarter, driven primarily by public investment. Finally, foreign trade showed signs of structural improvement, with a sharp decline in imports (-6.9%) and a strong surge in exports (+11.6% year-on-year), boosted by the initial benefits of the oil and gas sector.
