01Executive summary

A study of how the Ivorian State's budget resources and expenditure evolved over nine years, built on officially published data that I collected and cross-checked.

The datamart separates resources (tax revenue, borrowing) from expenditure (ordinary spending, debt) so trends can be read over time and by category.

02Technology stack

  • Power BI
  • DAX
  • Power Query
  • Excel

03Results and deliverables

  • Tax revenue makes up about half of resources; ordinary expenditure 43.6 % and public debt 29.98 % of spending.
  • Continuous growth until 2017, a decline in 2018 associated with the fall in cocoa prices, and a recovery in 2019.
  • A datamart and interactive dashboards on trends and outlook.

04Limitations

  • Descriptive analysis: the 2018 explanation is an interpretation of the trend, not a causal estimate.
