Côte d'Ivoire's Overall Balance (% of GDP): Net Lending/Borrowing Trends and Forecasts (1990-2029)

Côte d'Ivoire’s fiscal trends reflect its recovery from political instability and economic challenges. The late 1990s saw deficits averaging -1%, but the post-2010 period brought fiscal strain, with deficits peaking at -6.6% in 2022 due to increased public investment and external shocks.

The outlook suggests gradual narrowing of deficits to -2.5% by 2029, driven by improved governance and economic diversification. The country’s fiscal trajectory emphasizes the role of stability and structural reforms in achieving sustainable growth.
