Cote d'Ivoire Infrastructure Report Q4 2014 - New Market Study Published

Cote d'Ivoire's construction sector has entered a new period of growth. Following decades of underinvestment and weak to no growth, we are forecasting 10.6% annual average growth between 2014 and 2018. A number of mega projects, in line with the country's USD22.8bn National Development Plan, are seeing significant investment taking place in the country's infrastructure sector. Funded by public and private sources, the country is experiencing a boom in investment in the transport and power sectors, while growing natural resource investment is creating additional demand for new capacity. However, the security and political risks remain a very real threat, although a significant deterioration in the political climate is not our core view.

The recovery is expected to be sustained at least through to 2015, when the country's national development plan draws to a close. Government investment into addressing the country's wide-reaching infrastructure deficiencies, following decades of underinvestment, is filtering through to projects. Private investment is also picking up as political stability improves and the economy picks up.
