The results based on macroeconomic data provide a markup estimated at 2.98 in other words the prices are about three times higher than the costs. While the estimates on data of panel evaluate the markup at 1.22; what contrasts with the markup obtained with the macroeconomic data. Nevertheless, these results reveal a weak degree of competition in Senegal. The service sectors in particular trade, transport are identified as sectors where competition could be reinforced.
