IFC in Côte d Ivoire IFC s Strategy in Côte d Ivoire is based on a four-pronged approach blending Investments and Advisory Services and focuses on helping to: strengthen the country s financial sector, in order to use the local financial institutions to provide access to finance to SMEs and other actors that IFC cannot assist directly (e.g. farmers), improve the overall infrastructure by supporting development of the electricity grid and road network, as well as expansion of port facilities, support the Ivorian agribusiness sector, through the value chain of key segments (e.g. cocoa, cotton, cashew, rubber, etc.), and assist in improving the country s business climate, by improving not only the Doing Business Indicators, but putting in place reforms that improve contractual transactions and reduce the cost of doing business.

Examples of Recent Interventions Financial Services IFC assists Ivorian banks in supporting their trade activities with the Trade Guarantee product and helps them mitigate exposure to risky segments such as SMEs, cooperatives, smallholders, via Risk-Sharing Facilities (RSFs). To facilitate the import-export activities, IFC has provided trade guarantee lines to four (4) local banks totaling US$50 million: US$10 million to Société Ivoirienne de Banque or SIB (subsidiary of Morocco-based Attijariwafa), a US$18 million line to BACI, a US$2 million line to Bank of Africa-Cote d Ivoire, and a US$20 million for Ecobank. IFC has also put in place five (5) Risk-Sharing Facilities, four of which are targeting SMEs in general. Agribusiness A customized approach mixing investment with advisory in large enterprises that have significant supply-chain contribution, by create a considerable impact over the next 4-5 years, taking a value-chain enhancement perspective. IFC partners with anchor agribusiness companies to support the development of Access-to-Finance (A2F) solutions for segments such as SMEs, smallholders, outgrowers and cooperatives (SIPRA, Cargill, Barry Callebaut). These investments (done in partnership with large agribusiness operators) provide IFC with a significant outreach to constituents at the bottom of the pyramid which IFC has been traditionally unable to serve. In line with helping remove the bottlenecks affecting the agribusiness value chain, IFC s Advisory team wrote the draft law for the Warehouse Receipts System (WRS) which was ratified by the Ivorian parliament in 2015. The WRS will help promote movable collateral and provide an instrument that financial institutions can use to provide financing for inventory (cashew, cereal, etc.). Investment Climate IFC s Advisory team has been working closely with the government to implement deeper, more meaningful reforms that will impact more significantly not only the Doing Business indicators, but also the overall business environment. During FY16, the following reforms were achieved: Dealing with construction permit: The One Stop Center (OSC) should be functional shortly, by mid-april. The e- construction permit is expected to be functional by mid-may. Paying taxes: Cote d Ivoire adopted a unique form for tax declaration and tax payment. This reform will reduce the frequency of tax payments from 62 times annually to 12 (once a month). Enforcing contracts: Judicial procedures are computerized since February 2016. Furthermore, a special circuit for small commercial disputes (less than XOF 3 million) was created and enacted by law within the commercial court. Today, it takes 30 days for trial and verdict of these small disputes, whereas it used to take a minimum of 90 days before. Getting credit: The Collateral Registry is functional since Feb 2016, and 98% of commercial banks are already using this registry. Resolving Insolvency: The OHADA Insolvency Act Uniform brought reform for the 17 country members. With this new Act Uniform, creditors have now the right to appeal against a court s decision disputing their insolvency claims. The appeal is exercised within 15 days from the court s decision. Starting a business: A new ordinance, adopted on Dec 9th 2015, eliminated the need for a public notary as well as the fees for creating a limited liability company (SARL). This new reform makes it easier to register a business: the number of procedures have been reduced, and the 120,000 CFA fees are eliminated 8
