Flambée des cours du pétrole : Les 5 mesures d’Ousmane Sonko
Faced with persistent geopolitical instability in the Middle East which is driving up global oil prices in the oil markets, Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko, during the Council of Ministers meeting on Wednesday, May 6, at the Palace of the Republic, made a diagnosis of the situation before delivering the Government's energy response doctrine.
"The effects for Senegal, a net importer of hydrocarbons, are direct, cumulative and multidimensional, including the deterioration of the trade balance with pressure on public finances, the increase in production costs in the structuring sectors of the national economy and the risk of inflationary transmission to consumer prices," he emphasizes.
Thus, he argued that the Government "has favoured a response based on accelerating the development of its national gas resources, controlling energy demand, competitively diversifying the energy mix and targeted protection of vulnerable sectors."
Within the framework of this doctrine, he established five operational guidelines. He called for "the accelerated deployment of an energy sobriety policy, the acceleration of the transition to renewable energies, the implementation of a targeted energy shield in favour of strategic sectors and purchasing power, the strengthening of geopolitical monitoring and the diversification of supplies, and the revision of the tax regime."
