July 22, 2011 - PRLog -- BMI View: Continued political tensions have created a climate of panic among investors (both domestic and foreign) and are likely to depress investment and undermine development progress going forward. For 2011 especially, we have serious concerns about the possibility of any positive growth taking place in the sector, owing to the following key issues:

?? The country remains in dire need of funding to revive the economy and this comes at a time when government revenues are in significant decline. It is therefore unlikely that the new government will be in a position to undertake its planned investment projects or channel funds into infrastructure investment over the year. ?? Restoration of investor confidence will be tough to achieve this year as we expect newly elected President Alassane Ouattara's regime to focus on political stability and maintaining security rather than undertaking much-required business environment reforms. This will do little to reassure investors and will most likely lead to depressed overall capital investment this year.

------------------------------------------------------------

We therefore forecast a 10% plunge in capital investment in Cote d'Ivoire's infrastructure market this year. Meanwhile, we believe the construction sector is poised to contract by almost 8% in real terms by end-2011, after a weak 1.5% growth in industry value in 2010, according to UN estimates.

Thanks to its poor score in both the Rewards and the Risks categories, Cote d'Ivoire remains rooted to the bottom of our regional Business Environment Ratings. The country scores a total 24.6 points this quarter, performing significantly worse than the regional average of 45.8 points. The country scores very poorly both for the Rewards category and the Risks category. There is a significant gap in terms of points between Cote d'Ivoire and the two countries that are ranked immediately above it. Consequently it would take a considerable improvement across a range of sub-categories for the country to move off the bottom of our league table.

However, the gloom is slowly starting to lift thanks largely to Alassane Outtara's swearing in as the president on May 6 2011 and the lifting of sanctions. Australia's Rialto Energy resumed its operations in Cote d'Ivoire in May 2011 and has revealed plans to begin a drilling campaign for two to three wells in Cote d'Ivoire during Q112. This bodes well for Cote d'Ivoire as we have long maintained that its oil and gas industry could play a key role in its long-term development. Meanwhile, the African Development Bank (AfDB), along with the World Bank, has reaffirmed its support for the rehabilitation of social and economic infrastructure.
