Côte d’Ivoire is emerging as one of West Africa’s most compelling economic success stories—yet it remains widely misunderstood. Following a period of political disruption, the country has rebuilt its institutions, stabilized its macroeconomic environment, and embarked on a new phase of growth driven by industrialization, infrastructure development, and regional integration. This book offers a comprehensive and practical guide to Côte d’Ivoire’s economy and investment landscape. It examines the country’s political and economic evolution, demographic dynamics, and policy framework, and provides in-depth sectoral analysis across agriculture, energy, manufacturing, infrastructure, finance, tourism, retail, and logistics. Throughout, it focuses on identifying where opportunities exist, how markets function in practice, and what investors need to know to operate effectively. Grounded in real-world experience, the book features case studies of successful and challenging market entries—including Eni’s Baleine offshore project, Montage Gold’s Koné gold mine, Heineken’s Brassivoire brewery, Carrefour’s retail expansion, and the operational difficulties faced by Jumia Food and international banks. These examples translate strategy into practice, highlighting both opportunity and risk. Written for investors, executives, policymakers, students, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Africa’s frontier markets, this book goes beyond headlines to explain how Côte d’Ivoire’s economy works—and where its future potential lies.
