Ivory Coast Autos sales in 2016 posted the new all time record still fueled by one of best economy in the entire Africa. Vehicles market is now close to the 10.000 units milestone with an almost positive outlook.

Côte d’Ivoire’s economic performance has been impressive over the past four years with a robust GDP growth which resulted in a decline in poverty. The government adopted a new National Development Plan (NDP) for the 2016-2020 period, to follow its previous development plan for 2012-2016, which encompasses major structural reforms to achieve a sustained private sector and inclusive growth. The NDP 2016-2020 aims at achieving an emerging economy status for Côte d’Ivoire in 2020, with a substantially reduced poverty rate.

Côte d’Ivoire’s recent economic growth performance has been strong with unprecedented GDP growth and a controlled fiscal and external balance. There has been a robust recovery of Côte d’Ivoire’s economy in the wake of its 2010 post-elections crisis, with the average real growth rate reaching 8.5% annually between 2012 and 2015. This has been one of the highest rates in Sub-Saharan Africa.

The positive economic outlook helped the development of the new vehicles demand and in the 2016 the industry scored the new all time record with 8.913 sales, up 4.4% from the previous year record. The market is progressively adopting a safe policy reducing the import of obsolete used vehicles in favor on sales of new, low emission, cars.
