Overview
Côte d'Ivoire's tax revenue stood at 13.25% in 2025, a rise of +0.21% from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 13.25% by 2025. Côte d'Ivoire ranked 84th globally.
Côte d’Ivoire’s tax revenue as a share of GDP fell from 18.01 % in 1990 to an all‑time trough of 7.57 % in 2011, reflecting the fiscal strain of the post‑election crisis and subsequent economic slowdown, before modestly recovering to 13.25 % in 2025, ranking it 84th globally. The peak of 18.82 % recorded in 1995 occurred during a period of robust commodity exports and relatively stable macro‑economic conditions, highlighting how external demand can lift fiscal capacity. The recent level still lags behind peers such as Uganda (13.37 %) and Rwanda (12.83 %), underscoring the need for broader tax bases and improved administration. Continued diversification of the economy, coupled with reforms to broaden formal employment and enhance compliance, could sustain the upward trajectory and narrow the gap with regional counterparts.
