Boost for Cote d'Ivoire

A further US$75 million
has been released to Côte
d’Ivoire following the fifth
review of the country’s
performance under an
economic programme
supported by a three-year
Extended Credit Facility
(ECF) arrangement.
This brings total
disbursements since the
approval of the funding by
the executive board of the
International Monetary
Fund (IMF) in November
2011 to around US$551
million.
In a statement announcing
the latest disbursement,
the IMF said Côte d’Ivoire’s
macroeconomic performance
was “impressive” in 2013.
