Abdourahmane Cisse was born on August 6th, 1981 in Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire. A graduate engineer from the Ecole Polytechnique de Paris (France, X 2001) and the Institut Français du Petrole, he was appointed Budget Minister of Cote d’Ivoire on November 19th, 2013. At 32 years-old, this made him the youngest Minister in Prime Minister Daniel Kablan Duncan’s government. After earning a baccalaureate with high marks from the Lycee Moderne de Grand-Bassam, Abdourahmane Cisse successfully applied to the Ecole Polytechnique de Paris (X 2001), from which he graduated in 2004 with an engineering degree for Applied Mathematics. That same year, he joined the joint program between the University of Oklahoma (USA) and the Institut Français du Petrole (IFP School). This resulted in his earning a Master’s degree in Economic Science and Petroleum Resources Management. His 2005 recruitment by the famous Goldman Sachs International business bank in London (United Kingdom) gave the young technocrat unique exposure to international finance. He successfully performed as a structuration-origination Analyst within the Raw Materials department; an Associate-Trader for structured products; and a VP/Executive Director in charge of volatility trading and dividends pertaining to Euro zone indices. He left Goldman Sachs International in 2011 and went back to Cote d'Ivoire, thereby answering President Alassane Ouattara’s call for the return of the Ivoirian diaspora. In July 2012, Abdourahmane Cisse became Advisor to the President with regard to Public Finances, and in 2013 he was cabinet director to the Minister in charge of the Economy and Public Finances. Then came his appointment as Budget Minister on November 19th, 2013. In this capacity, he oversees the drafting and execution of the State Budget; directs the implementation of the Government’s budget, customs and fiscal policy; and manages State participations and Public Enterprises. He also contributes to the identification and management of the country’s economic policy and debt guiding priorities. As such, and under the guidance of Prime Minister Daniel Kablan Duncan, he drives a vast program of reforms aimed at improving the management of public finances. This includes such initiatives as the electronic land register (LIFE), the new decree governing procurement timelines, the creation of two test centers dedicated to the management of medium-sized businesses (CME), the launching of mixed fiscal and customs controls; as well as the linking of the Tax Office and Customs Department that allowed for the reclassification of certain taxpayers and put an end to the manual registration of taxpayer identification numbers at the Customs Department.
