Development Finance International

After reaching completion point, Côte d'Ivoire hosted an IMF/World Bank mission in Abidjan in order to formulate a medium term debt strategy document, with DRI as technical partner. The analysis of the existing debt revealed the challenges of clearing domestic arrears, of recapitalising of public banks and the weight of debt service on the 2013-2015 budget. Simulations led to proposals for a reference strategy, as well as alternative strategies in case of shocks in order to respond to the country's challenges of its development financing programme while securing debt sustainability.
