Metric Overview
Strengths
Cost to start a business
According to the World Bank, the average cost of starting a business in Cote d’Ivoire is 2.7% of income per capita in 2019, lower than the Lower Middle Income Countries average of 17%. This eases the entry of new firms.
Time required to start a business
According to the World Bank, the time required to start a business in Cote d’Ivoire is six days, which is lower than the Lower Middle Income Countries’ average of 17 days. Shorter times to set up businesses can persuade businesses to set up in a country, including new infrastructure entities.
Transparency in public procurement
Cote d’Ivoire’s public procurement notices are made available online and tender documents transparently detail procurement procedures. The transparency of the process encourages more participation and competition, which can drive value for money.

Opportunities to Grow
Market sounding and/or assessment
According to the World Bank, there is an absence of market sounding process in Cote d’Ivoire. Adding one could allow the government to determine if there is an interest from investors and lenders to provide commercial financing for projects.
Effect of taxation on incentives to invest
Cote d’Ivoire’s score is slightly lower than the Lower Middle Income Countries average score of 46. Cote d’Ivoire has some measures in place to promote investment, however, it could be improved. A low score could discourage investment and affect the competitiveness of the market.
Domestic credit to private sector
Cote d’Ivoire has domestic credit to its private sector valued at 26% of its GDP, which is lower than the Lower Middle Income Countries’ average score of 44%. A low value could reflect limited availability of capital for infrastructure projects.

Detailed Data
This section shows country data for each of the 41 metrics. The figures in brackets denote the change in score since InfraCompass 2017.
Note that all data has been normalised on a scale of 1-100. For raw metric data, please download the complete InfraCompass 2020 dataset.
Where relevant, some metric scores have been inverted, such that all metrics have positive relationships with good infrastructure outcomes. For example, since lower compliance costs make it easier to invest in infrastructure, the normalised value of ‘number of procedures to start a business’ has been reversed such that lower number of procedures are scored closer to 100, and higher numbers closer to 0. In other words, a score of 0 indicates a poor performance, rather than 0 number of procedures.
