Ivory Coast

Côte d'Ivoire is a West African country with its capital in Yamoussoukro and its economic centre in the coastal city of Abidjan. The country has a population of about 28 million and is one of the region's largest economies, driven primarily by agriculture, particularly cocoa production. Côte d'Ivoire is the world's leading producer and exporter of cocoa beans, accounting for roughly 40% of global supply, and also produces significant quantities of coffee, cashews and palm oil. The economy is further supported by petroleum extraction, natural gas, mining and a growing services sector. The currency is the West African CFA franc, which is pegged to the euro and shared with seven other members of the West African Economic and Monetary Union. Côte d'Ivoire is a presidential republic and a member of the Economic Community of West African States and the African Union. The country gained independence from France in 1960 and experienced political stability under Félix Houphouët-Boigny until his death in 1993, followed by periods of civil conflict in the early 2000s. Since 2011, Côte d'Ivoire has pursued economic reforms and infrastructure investment, positioning itself as a regional hub for finance and trade. The government has accessed international capital markets through Eurobond issuance and works closely with multilateral institutions including the International Monetary Fund.
