Cote d'Ivoire Business Today

AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Growth Outlook: Afreximbank’s new Côte d’Ivoire brief forecasts GDP growth of 5.8% in 2026 and 6.2% in 2027, with trade rising from $26 billion in 2018 to $57 billion in 2025. Financial Sector: Côte d’Ivoire’s removal from the FATF grey list may ease friction in cross-border transactions and strengthen investor confidence after reforms to its anti-money-laundering controls. Trade Costs: Borderless Alliance says checkpoint delays and unofficial payments continue to raise costs across Africa; trucks on Ghana’s Tema–Paga corridor face about 85 checkpoints, highlighting barriers to regional trade. Digital Economy: Cybastion and Cisco plan to open a cybersecurity center in Abidjan on November 5, offering regional threat response and workforce training. Exports: Abidjan-based PMCI Industrie has secured kosher certification for its crude coconut oil, positioning the new processor to supply food, cosmetics and industrial customers worldwide.
