In the context of negotiating the new Economic and Financial Programme (EFP) for the next three years, an International Monetary Fund (IMF) mission drew several conclusions. One of the conclusions indicates that the economic growth of Côte d'Ivoire is estimated at 7.2% and the inflation rate at 3.7% for the year 2023.

The spokesperson of the Ivorian government, Amadou Coulibaly, reported information on the country's growth and inflation rate in 2023 at the end of the Council of Ministers on Wednesday 22 March in Abidjan-Plateau. Indeed, the IMF's mission consisted in reviewing all macroeconomic indicators, diagnosing them and discussing economic policy guidelines likely to preserve the solidity of the macroeconomic framework and support the implementation of the PND 2021—2025. Therefore, the conclusions of this mission mention that the macroeconomic outlook remains favourable, despite the uncertainties linked to the war in Ukraine and security threats in the Sahel.

A en croire Amadou Coulibaly, “key structural reforms include, in particular, strengthening social protection for vulnerable households, promoting private sector-led and more inclusive growth. The government will continue to implement structural reforms to further improve the dynamism of the economy.”
