Côte d'Ivoire’s share of national income accruing to the bottom 10 percent of earners stood at 3.10 percent in 2021, placing the country 27th in the world and matching the levels recorded in peer economies such as Benin and Estonia. The indicator rose from its earliest reported figure of 1.80 percent in 1985, reaching an all‑time trough of 1.80 percent during the global financial crisis in 2008 before climbing steadily to the 2021 peak of 3.10 percent. Over the 12‑year span covered by the World Bank series, the modest upward trajectory reflects gradual improvements in income redistribution, yet the share remains low compared with many middle‑income nations. Structural reforms that expand formal employment and enhance social protection could accelerate the rise in the bottom‑decile’s income share, while adverse shocks to commodity prices or fiscal capacity might dampen further progress.
