Ivory Coast: an envelope of 17,321.3 billion CFA francs planned for 2026, according to the DPBEP 2026-2028.
On Wednesday, May 21, 2025, the Council of Ministers, chaired by His Excellency Mr. Alassane Ouattara, President of the Republic, approved the communication regarding the presentation of the Multiannual Budgetary and Economic Programming Document (DPBEP) for the period 2026-2028. This strategic document establishes the main guidelines for the state's budgetary policy for the next three years, in line with the objectives of economic growth, macroeconomic stability, and sustainable development.
The DPBEP 2026-2028 is based on a forecast of real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth of 6.3% on average annually over the period, reflecting the resilience of the Ivorian economy in the face of international political and trade tensions, as well as the adverse effects of climate change. This momentum is supported by the continuation of structural public investments and the economic reforms undertaken.
The document anticipates a significant improvement in the capacity to mobilize domestic revenues, which should represent an average of 61.2% of budgetary resources over the period. At the same time, a rationalization of public spending is planned, with a predominance of investment expenditures (42.5%), followed by personnel expenditures (24.9%) and financial charges of public debt (15.0%).
The DPBEP establishes a progression of the state budget, with an allocation of 17,321.3 billion CFA francs expected for 2026, representing an increase of 12.9% compared to 2025. This trend is expected to continue, reaching 18,599.4 billion CFA francs in 2027 and 20,218.5 billion CFA francs in 2028. This document emphasizes priority actions such as the fight against poverty, the promotion of gender equality, and the strengthening of resilience to climate change. These guidelines are part of a vision for inclusive development, aimed at ensuring equitable and sustainable growth for all citizens.
It should be noted that the economic and budgetary data presented in the DPBEP 2026-2028 are provisional and may be revised based on political and economic developments, both internal and external, that may occur before the finalization of the 2026 budget project.
Thus, the DPBEP 2026-2028 serves as an essential reference framework for the budgetary and economic planning of Côte d'Ivoire, reflecting the government's commitment to rigorous management of public finances and sustained economic development.
