Four times more than expected, in a single day, the promise was almost a budgetary utopia, until the figures fell, Wednesday July 8, 2026, at Sofitel Hôtel Ivoire in Abidjan. It was in this forum that the Consultative Group dedicated to the financing of the National Development Plan (PND) 2026-2030 opened yesterday, an ambitious five-year plan aimed at mobilizing considerable resources to transform the Ivorian economy. Côte d'Ivoire's partners announced 80 billion US dollars, or 47,820 billion CFA francs, to finance the PND 2026-2030. The Vice-President of the Republic, Tiémoko Meyliet Koné, welcomed on behalf of the President of the Republic, H.E Alassane OUATTARA the deep gratitude of the State towards all the partners who took part in the work. He described this level of commitments as remarkable, seeing it as a strong sign of adherence to the development priorities of Côte d'Ivoire and a signal of confidence in the solidity of the country's economic fundamentals. private investors present in Abidjan. This national plan aims in particular to support growth, employment, industrialization, the development of human capital, infrastructure and social inclusion. However, Tiémoko Meyliet Koné wanted to temper the enthusiasm by recalling that the now common responsibility will consist of translating these announcements into effective commitments and concrete projects. The government is committed to improving the business environment, strengthening project preparation and consolidating monitoring and evaluation, within a framework of transparent dialogue with partners.

Beyond the financial symbol, this result consolidates the credibility of the Ivorian economic trajectory, the result of hard work by the Government under the watchful eye of the Head of State, H.E Alassane OUATTARA, on the international scene. It now remains to make these promises a reality through tangible investments on the ground.
