Cote d`Ivoire Infrastructure Report Q2 2016

BMI View: Cote d'Ivoire's construction industry will remain an attractive investment destination owing tothe country's resilience to the commodities downturn compared to other Sub-Saharan markets, and thegovernment's pro-business policies. We forecast an annual average of 6.4% growth over our 10-yearforecast period. Expansion in transport and energy infrastructure will be the main drivers of growth.Latest Updates And Structural Trends

We are maintaining our forecast of 9.2% real growth in 2016 as the government directs significant capitalexpenditure towards infrastructure development and private investment continues to flow into thecountry.

The construction of gas-fired and hydroelectric power plants will underpin growth in energyinfrastructure, as the country seeks to secure a more stable power supply.

Investment into freight logistics capacity, notably port and rail, will support trade flows in the region.

We anticipate private investment will begin to flow into the real estate sector, to capitalise on thepotential of the growing middle class and cater to businesses operating in the region.
