Senegal’s eurobonds fell on Tuesday after the government announced it will pursue a "debt treatment" under the Group of 20’s Common Framework. The West African nation also agreed to a new $2.2 billion financing program with the International Monetary Fund. "Continuing to solidify public finances and reducing debt-related vulnerabilities are crucial and urgent to restore the state’s ability to fund its priorities," the finance ministry said in a statement. The move signals a significant step in addressing the country’s fiscal pressures.
