Côte d’Ivoire’s nominal GDP rose to $99.8bn in 2025.

Higher is better. A larger economy gives a country more income to spend, save and tax, so a higher figure is better. The latest figure is $99.8bn for 2025, up from $87.1bn a year earlier, a rise of 14.5%. That is the highest level since 2016, and it sits at the top of its range over the period. The lowest point in the window was $48.4bn in 2016, so the economy has roughly doubled in dollar terms since then.

Why it matters. A $99.8bn economy gives the state a wider base for taxes and a stronger footing when it borrows or plans public investment. Firms serve a bigger domestic market, and the dollar value of wages and trade has grown with it. Because the measure is in dollars, a stronger franc against the dollar lifts it even when output has not changed, so households feel the gain only to the extent that real incomes and jobs follow.
