Last update: an hour ago

Urban Transport: Abidjan Metro Line 1 is 66% complete, with service targeted for January 2029. The 37.4-kilometre line is expected to carry 540,000 passengers daily and create more than 5,000 jobs. Mining Finance: Australian explorer Many Peaks is seeking $60 million to advance its gold project in Côte d’Ivoire. Oil & Gas: Murphy Oil is assessing an FPSO for its deepwater Bubale discovery, but says further appraisal drilling is needed; first oil could come around 2032. Cocoa Outlook: A severe El Niño could cut Côte d’Ivoire’s 2026/27 cocoa crop by 21% to 25%, raising risks for the world’s top producer. Energy Investment: The government’s 2026–2040 roadmap targets 38 trillion FCFA in mining, hydrocarbons and energy investment, with private investors expected to provide 88%. Tourism Digitization: A new online platform lets tourism businesses file applications, pay fees and track requests, as the government seeks to formalize the sector and simplify administration.
