Ivory Coast

Government spokesperson Mamadou Coulibaly announced on February 4th, following the Council of Ministers meeting, that the National Development Plan (PND 2026–2030) projects total investment of $191.4 billion in Ivory Coast, equivalent to approximately FCFA 114,838.5 billion.

This financial package is organized around a clear distribution between the private and public sectors. The private sector in Ivory Coast is expected to mobilize 70.2% of the resources, while the public sector’s contribution is set at 29.8%.

For the government specifically, financing needs are estimated at $63.3 billion, or about FCFA 38 trillion. These resources are intended to be raised through financial markets and various transactions throughout the implementation period of the plan. This structure reflects the intention to combine public capacity with private investment in order to support the country’s development priorities.

Ivory Coast’s Macroeconomic Objectives and Implementation Strategy

The macroeconomic framework of the 2026–2030 National Development Plan in Ivory Coast is based on a projected average growth rate of 7.2% over the entire five-year period. The strategy also anticipates a steady increase in the investment rate, which is expected to reach 25.4% of GDP in 2026 and rise to 34.5% of GDP by 2030. These projections are aligned with the ambition of elevating Ivory Coast to the status of an upper-middle-income nation.

Operationally, the program in Ivory Coast includes a matrix of major reforms covering 22 areas of intervention. It is supported by a portfolio of structuring projects distributed across all sectors of activity in Ivory Coast. Implementation will rely on a reinforced monitoring and evaluation framework designed to guide sectoral policies and ensure performance management in line with the objectives defined by the Council of Ministers.

The strategic direction of the plan in Ivory Coast integrates the imperatives of inclusive development and responds to the aspirations of young people for stability and national solidarity. The framework document outlines the elements required to ensure the sustainability of the national economic model over the next five years, with a strong emphasis on enhanced coordination between public and private investments.
