Ivory Coast 2025 Budget Review Shows Revenue Shortfall and Deficit
What happened
The National Assembly reviewed the 2025 budget for Ivory Coast, where the National Audit Court reported a deficit of approximately 2,208 billion CFA francs, or US$3.75 billion.

The court declared the state’s public accountants’ 2025 accounts to be in order, subject to later checks.

Why it matters
The deficit was caused by a revenue shortfall, as the state collected 7,332 billion CFA francs in budget revenue against a forecast of 7,963 billion CFA francs. This fiscal situation reveals a gap in the state's finances and impacts Ivory Coast’s national economic stability.
