The Ivorian government reports a cash surplus of 369.1 billion CFA francs in the execution of the 2025 budget, with 15,654.2 billion in resources and 15,285.1 billion in spending. An analysis of budget documents and a World Bank report notes that resources include borrowing and points to a deficit of nearly 2,000 billion, according to Togoweb.
The Ivorian government announced a cash surplus of 369.1 billion CFA francs in the execution of the 2025 state budget, after the Council of Ministers adopted the draft budget settlement law on 14 October 2026. Government spokesperson Amadou Coulibaly said revenues, including special Treasury accounts, had reached 15,654.2 billion CFA francs, or 101.2% of forecasts.
Spending executed amounted to 15,285.1 billion CFA francs, according to figures released by the government. However, Togoweb disputes the presentation of a surplus, citing Ivorian budget documents and a World Bank report that indicate a deficit of nearly 2,000 billion CFA francs.
