Senegal's parliament has ordered a probe into total-return-swap deals entered last year to raise approximately €1 billion ($1.2 billion) to meet financing needs. The National Assembly is establishing a non-partisan commission of inquiry comprising lawmakers from across the political spectrum. The panel will begin work once members are installed and has up to six months to complete its work and submit a report to the speaker of parliament.

The investigation aims to scrutinize the terms and implications of the financial instruments used to secure foreign currency. This comes amid ongoing discussions about Senegal's debt management and fiscal policy. The move underscores legislative oversight of complex financial arrangements involving international markets.
