The Minister of State Portfolio and Public Enterprises, Professor Mariatou Koné , presented a particularly positive assessment of public management during a strategic meeting held on Thursday, April 16, 2026, in Abidjan. Addressing an audience of business leaders and officials from the DGPE (Directorate General of State Portfolio and Public Enterprises), the figures demonstrated a profound transformation of the sector over the period 2020-2025.

Spectacular financial growth

In the space of four years, performance indicators have reached historic highs. This progress is reflected in two major data points:

1. Total revenue: It will reach 4,728 billion FCFA in 2025, compared to 2,719 billion in 2021 (representing an average annual growth of 15%).
2. Profits: Net income climbed 32% , reaching 240 billion FCFA in 2024, far from the 78 billion recorded in 2021.

This increased profitability has allowed a significant rise in dividends paid into the state coffers, thus strengthening national budgetary resources.

The pillars of success: Reforms and Transparency

These results are not the product of chance, but of rigorous structural reforms:

1. Legal modernization: An updated legislative framework for greater efficiency.
2. Enhanced governance: Deployment of "second generation" performance contracts.
3. Budgetary discipline: Today, 60% of companies respect budget transmission deadlines (compared to only 13% in 2021).
4. Risk management: 65% of entities now have a validated risk map.

"The State intends to consolidate its role as a strategic shareholder and make the public portfolio a sustainable engine of economic growth."

Heading towards 2030: Towards a new strategic phase

Although the indicators are positive, the minister pointed out that challenges remain, particularly in terms of budgetary discipline and audit follow-up.

Under the impetus of the General Directorate of the State Portfolio (DGPE), headed by Bamba Seydou , the 2026-2030 period opens with renewed ambitions.

The objective is clear: to transform the DGPE into a leading strategic partner, with an emphasis on developing human capital and optimizing the quality of public service provided to citizens.
