Côte d’Ivoire records US$35.3 mln positive variance in  Q1-2022 tax revenues

Based on Côte d’Ivoire’s economic resilience, the reforms initiated by the country, the discovery of new oil and gas reserves, and tax and customs revenues, the IMF forecasts a 6% GDP growth for 2022.

Côte d’Ivoire’s tax revenues were 3% more than expected in Q1-2022, according to deputy head of taxation M’bahia Bamba Maférima (photo) as reported in an official release published Monday (April 25). 

During the period under review, tax services collected over US$1.17 billion of tax revenues, US$35.3 million more than expected. Year on year, the revenue collected is up by 13%. The performance is recorded a little less than four months into the launch of an e-tax platform in the country. According to the general directorate, the platform boosts the efficiency of tax inspections. 

For Q2, authorities expect close to US$1.6 billion in tax revenues. Overall, tax revenues are expected to fund about 45% of the country's 2022 budget.  

According to the International Monetary Fund, Côte d'Ivoire's “economy continues to show signs of resilience to the impact of the [coronavirus] pandemic.” 

After a virtual visit, from January 25 to February 3, IMF staff praised a “robust” economy. Let’s note that between 2011 and 2022, Côte d’Ivoire’s budget rose threefold, from US$5.3 to 17.1 billion.
