Julie Kozack Says IMF Is Preparing Senegal's Debt Sustainability Analysis

At the Fund's September 10 briefing, Kozack said the review applies the IMF's existing methodology, not a new one built for Senegal.
- Kozack made the statement during the IMF's biweekly press briefing in Washington on September 10.
- A Debt Sustainability Analysis grades whether a country's debt load remains serviceable under stress.
- She specified the current framework applies, ruling out a special methodology built for Senegal's case.
Why it matters: The IMF does not audit a country's finances for the public; it drafts the terms lenders accept next.
