Services play a major role in the Senegalese economy, accounting for 66 percent of economic activity and contributing nearly three-quarters of gross domestic product growth between 2006 and 2013. During the period, the private sector contributed 71 percent of services and accounted for 84 percent of its contribution to growth. The dynamism of private services is driven primarily by telecommunications and financial services: while the two sub-sectors made up 21 percent of private services, they accounted for nearly half (48 percent) of the contributions of private services to growth during the period. These trends are projected to improve in the future. Available data on employment and credit confirm the critical importance of services. In 2013, over 50 percent of credit to the economy was devoted to services, and 55 percent of the labor force was employed in the services sector, including 36 percent of the rural workforce and as much as 80 percent of the urban workforce
