What the numbers say
In 2023, Côte d'Ivoire's domestic general government health expenditure (% of current health expenditure) fell 0.14 percentage points on 2022 (from 40.97% to 40.83%).
Across the 22 yearly changes before that (2001 to 2022), the average change was +1.12 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 2.62 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.5 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 6.55 percentage points in 2020 and the biggest yearly fall was 5.17 percentage points in 2011. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2014 to 2023 the straight-line trend is upward, about 2.42 percentage points a year. A straight line explains 93% of the movement over 10 observed years.

A straight-line projection, tested first
Extending that straight line gives about 49.91% for 2026. We show this only because the same method, fitted on earlier years, predicted 2021 to 2023 better than "no change" would have: its average miss was 3.34%, against 4.6% for assuming no change. Treat it as a continuation of the recent pattern, not a forecast of events: it cannot see a recession, a policy change or a revision to the data.

What this measures
Share of current health expenditures funded from domestic public sources for health. Domestic public sources include domestic revenue as internal transfers and grants, transfers, subsidies to voluntary health insurance beneficiaries, non-profit institutions serving households (NPISH) or enterprise financing schemes as well as compulsory prepayment and social health insurance contributions. They do not include external resources spent by governments on health.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
