Ivorian business leaders have committed to playing a key role in the implementation of the country’s 2026-2030 National Development Plan (PND), a massive investment program valued at 114.838,5 billion CFA francs ($204 billion). The private sector is expected to contribute 70% of the total investment. Ahmed Cissé, president of the General Confederation of Enterprises of Côte d'Ivoire (CGECI), affirmed the sector’s readiness to invest capital and expertise alongside the government. Concerns raised by the private sector include the involvement of small and medium-sized enterprises in major projects, financing mechanisms, and risk-sharing arrangements. The PND aims for an average economic growth of 7.2% and seeks to transform Côte d'Ivoire into an upper-middle-income country. The plan prioritizes sectors like agro-industry, energy, infrastructure, and digital technology, relying on both public and private funding.
