The Report: Côte d'Ivoire 2022

A dynamic, diverse and rapidly growing country, Côte d’Ivoire is one of the largest economies in West Africa, with a promising growth outlook and favourable demographic prospects. Economic growth is expected to continue following robust recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic, with a projected growth rate of 6% for 2022. However, the global inflationary environment, the geopolitical uncertainty caused by Russia’s February 2022 invasion of Ukraine, and rising commodity and oil prices are expected to have important implications for both household incomes and exports. Nonetheless, economic indicators imply that it will remain among West Africa’s top performers and retain its significance as an economic leader in francophone West Africa. Implementing an ambitious reform and recovery agenda remains fundamental to the continuing prosperity of the country.
