Côte d'Ivoire is one of the most dynamic economies in West Africa and the key to unlocking the francophone Sub-Saharan Africa market. The economy averaged over 8 percent economic growth from 2012-2017, and strong growth is expected to continue through 2020. This positive outlook is underpinned by an improved political environment and stable inflation. The Government of Côte d'Ivoire (GOCI) supports private sector-led growth and has worked hard to improve its investment climate and build economic infrastructure to allow businesses to thrive. The country welcomes foreign investment and hopes to attract more than $37.5 billion in private sector investments through public-private partnerships to implement its 2016-2020 National Development Plan (NDP).
