Côte d'Ivoire's net migration stood at 11,305 in 2025, a rise of +3,467 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 10,957 by 2026. Côte d'Ivoire ranked 175th globally.
Côte d’Ivoire’s net migration figure of 11,305.00 in 2025 places the country at rank 175 globally, closely mirroring Austria’s 11,254.00 and Israel’s 11,466.00. The trajectory has been volatile over the 66‑year series, rising from an early‑period level of 31,307.00 in 1960 to a historic high of 125,556.00 in 1996, before plunging to a trough of –250,964.00 in 2013, the deepest negative balance recorded. The post‑trough rebound has been gradual, with the 2025 level still far below the 1996 peak yet markedly higher than the 2013 nadir, indicating a modest re‑orientation toward net in‑migration. Structural drivers such as regional labor market shifts, urbanisation, and policy reforms on residency have contributed to this recovery. Continued economic diversification and improved border management could sustain the upward trend, potentially narrowing the gap with peer nations and stabilising net migration at a positive level in the coming decade.
