Operational Debt and fiscal condition Senegal

Operational National development plan Egypt

Egyptian real GDP growth reached 5.3% in the first half of FY26 against 3.9% a year earlier, with full-year FY26 growth projected at 4.3%; employment stood at 43.8% and labour-force participation at 46.7% in Q2 FY26, both below historical averages, and the national poverty rate was 33.5% in 2021/22.

What this does not establish. The 4.3% figure is a projection and is labelled as one; the rest are outturns. Poverty measured on the lower-middle-income line rose by about five percentage points between 2022 and 2024, so the 2021/22 national rate understates the current position. A participation rate of 46.7% is the share of the working-age population in the labour force, not an employment rate.

Egypt’s second National Artificial Intelligence Strategy covers 2025 to 2030, is led by the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology and overseen by a National Council for Artificial Intelligence, and sets targets of an ICT contribution to GDP of 7.7%, 30,000 AI experts, more than 250 startups and at least 36% of the population using AI-powered tools in daily life.

What this does not establish. Every figure here is a target for 2030, not an achievement. The strategy states it is measured through 89 indicators, but no progress against any of them is established by this record. The ministry’s own strategy document was located but exceeded the size this platform can retrieve, so the targets are recorded from the OECD’s official register rather than quoted from the primary text.

Operational Debt and fiscal condition Côte d'Ivoire

The IMF completed its most recent Article IV consultation with Côte d’Ivoire on 11 December 2024, with the country report released on 8 April 2025; the Fund projects real GDP growth of 6.2% and inflation of 1.8% for 2026, with outstanding purchases and loans of SDR 2,893.42 million as at 31 March 2026 against a quota of SDR 650.4 million.

What this does not establish. An IMF projection for 2026 published on the Fund’s own country page. It is a projection, not an outturn, and it carries no probability. Growth is not employment: nothing in this record establishes who the growth reaches, or whether it reaches the labour market at all. The Article IV is more than a year old at the date of this record, so it predates any development since December 2024.

Tanzania’s third National Financial Inclusion Framework runs from 2023 to 2028, following frameworks for 2013–2017 and 2018–2022; the Bank of Tanzania records that access to and use of formal financial services rose to 89% and 76% in 2023 from 86% and 65% in 2017 on FinScope survey results, while exclusion remains high among rural residents, smallholder farmers, youth and women.

What this does not establish. Access and use are two different measures and the Bank publishes no definition of either on this page, so neither can be compared with the World Bank Findex account-ownership series shown elsewhere on this platform — different surveys, different constructions, different denominators.
