IMF Draws Packed Senegal Session as New Program Talks Drag

The International Monetary Fund’s mission chief for Senegal met a packed room of investors in Washington on Friday, offering fresh details on the country’s economic outlook but stopping short of signaling a breakthrough in talks on a new program.

The session, one of the most closely watched during the IMF-World Bank Spring Meetings last week, drew standing-room-only attendance across connected rooms at the fund’s headquarters, according to people familiar with the matter.
