Why Abidjan Attracts International investors ? [Business Africa]

Ivory Coast is emerging as one of West Africa's strongest-performing economies.

Since the 2011 post-election crisis,the country has maintained an average annual growth rate of 6.5%,driven by major infrastructure investments and a steadily improving business environment. This momentum was reinforced during the donors' roundtable held in Abidjan on July 8 and 9,where the government secured more than $80 billion in funding commitments,far exceeding its initial target.

As the country's economic transformation gathers pace,the energy sector is playing a strategic role. Pétro Ivoire is a prime example of the rise of national champions helping to drive this growth. We spoke with the company's CEO,Sébastien Kadio Morokro.
