Ivory Coast shows an implementation rate for the community reforms and policies of WAEMU (West African Economic and Monetary Union) of 84.54% in 2025, against 87.78% in 2024. The figure comes from the 12th Annual Review of WAEMU community reforms, policies, programmes and projects in Ivory Coast, held from 9 to 11 November in Plateau, Abidjan.
Vassogbo Bamba, representing the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Budget, stressed that this rate is clearly higher than the community average, set at 73.91% for 2025. He said that 96 reforms have been fully applied, 39 partially carried out and 10 texts not yet implemented.
For the only community project assessed in 2025, the supply and installation of solar equipment in Ivory Coast, the average performance index reaches 53.76%, against 40.03% in 2024, a rise of 13.73 points. Vassogbo Bamba congratulated national stakeholders and urged them to redouble their efforts in the areas of low performance.
Gustave Diasso, WAEMU’s resident representative, said the Review prompts greater commitment from national administrations and emulation among states.
