Côte d’Ivoire Public Enterprises Post Modest Revenue Growth, Face Recapitalization Needs

Public enterprises in Côte d’Ivoire recorded a provisional cumulative turnover of 4,728.3 billion CFA francs at the end of December 2025, marking a 1.2% increase compared to the 2024 fiscal year, government spokesperson and Minister of Communication Amadou Coulibaly announced.

The statement was made following the Council of Ministers meeting held on Wednesday, April 29, 2026, at the Presidential Palace in Abidjan-Plateau.

“This level of activity represents a 100.4% achievement rate of budgetary targets. The cumulative net result shows a surplus of 240.3 billion CFA francs, corresponding to a 112% execution rate compared to the forecast of 213.6 billion CFA francs. However, this result is down by 1% compared to 2024, when it stood at 242.8 billion CFA francs,” Coulibaly said.

Regarding the 2026 outlook, the government spokesperson indicated that the projected net result for public enterprises is expected to reach 246.3 billion CFA francs, reflecting a 2% increase compared to the provisional 2025 figure.

However, he noted that an analysis of the 2025 and 2026 budget data reveals that 11 public enterprises have equity levels below half of their share capital. “This situation calls for a total recapitalization need estimated at 39.07 billion CFA francs, including 28.9 billion CFA francs to be covered by the State in proportion to its shareholding,” he added.
