The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has approved the immediate disbursement of approximately $832.8 million in loans to Côte d’Ivoire, following successful reviews of three aid programs. The funds are intended to support the country’s ongoing economic reforms and efforts to reduce public debt. Côte d’Ivoire has demonstrated robust economic growth and stability over the past fifteen years, recovering from a period of political and military crisis. The IMF acknowledges the Ivorian authorities’ continued commitment to reforms and notes the resilience of the nation’s economy. However, the IMF forecasts a slight slowdown in growth to 6% in 2026, down from 6.5% in 2025, due to global economic uncertainties and the conflict in the Middle East. Inflation is also expected to rise to 3.3% in 2026, driven by increasing food and energy prices.
