Côte d’Ivoire: Companies Benefit from Economic Momentum, Recording Strong Growth

Several companies operating in Côte d’Ivoire have recorded significant revenue growth over the past three years, reflecting a gradual transformation of the national economy. This trend is particularly visible in the digital, logistics, infrastructure, and agro-industry sectors.

Data from national economic agencies indicate that company creation remains robust, reflecting an expanding business environment. Private investments mobilized under the 2021–2025 National Development Plan (NDP) have supported this momentum, with several major projects launched or continued during the period.

In the infrastructure sector, large-scale projects related to the Port of Abidjan, the railway network, and the Abidjan metro aim to improve connectivity and logistics. These initiatives are part of the government’s strategy to position Côte d’Ivoire as a regional hub in West Africa.

The digital sector is also a key driver of growth. Investments in information technology and digital services have fostered the emergence of new companies and the development of local solutions, particularly in fintech and innovation.

Meanwhile, the agro-industry continues to evolve. The cocoa and cashew sectors, pillars of the Ivorian economy, are increasingly focusing on local processing, supported by public policies aimed at enhancing value addition and reducing the export of raw materials.

While these achievements reflect structural acceleration of the economy, challenges remain, particularly in financing, competitiveness, and diversification. Upcoming investment cycles and the implementation of the new National Development Plan will be crucial in consolidating these gains.
