Analysis# Senegal Total Investment
Senegal's total investment stood at 27.325% of GDP in 2026, down significantly from the all-time peak of 47.157% in 2023. Since 2004, the metric has increased 49.7% overall, rising from a low of 18.258%. The country's investment rate has fluctuated considerably over two decades, reflecting broader economic shifts and policy changes during this period.
A dramatic spike occurred between 2022 and 2023, when investment jumped from 47.135% to 47.157% of GDP—the highest level in the dataset. Following this peak, a sharp contraction unfolded: investment fell to 37.886% in 2024, then 30.997% in 2025, reaching 27.325% in 2026. This steep decline suggests either a correction from unsustainable investment levels or changing capital allocation patterns. The downward trajectory through 2026 indicates Senegal's investment rate is normalizing closer to mid-2010s levels.
