A second phase began after the end of the post-election armed conflict of 2010-2011. Since then,
Côte d'Ivoire has again enjoyed relative stability and economic success, with an average growth
rate of 8% per year, making it one of the most dynamic countries in the world over the period
2012-2018.
This new phase of economic development was accompanied by significant growth in the role of
the private sector, and the number of PPPs increased rapidly, also due to the specific supporting
policies and institutional reforms implemented by the government.
