Business Corruption in Senegal

Corruption poses risks in most sectors in Senegal, with bribery and petty corruption being particularly common. Senegal's anti-corruption law is primarily contained Penal Code (in French), which criminalises extortion , active and passive bribery , bribing foreign officials and money laundering , as well as private-to-private corruption. The legal status of facilitation payments is unclear, but they are expected when doing business. The legal status and expectations concerning gifts and hospitality is difficult to determine. Overall, a weak judiciary hinders enforcement of legal provisions, but the sitting government has shown a willingness to curb corruption.
