Côte D'Ivoire

Côte d'Ivoire is a West African country bordered by Liberia and Guinea to the west, Mali and Burkina Faso to the north, Ghana to the east, and the Gulf of Guinea to the south. The capital is Yamoussoukro, though the economic capital and largest city is Abidjan. With a population of about 28-million, Côte d'Ivoire is one of the region's most populous nations. The economy is heavily reliant on agriculture, particularly cocoa production, of which the country is the world's largest exporter, alongside significant output of coffee, palm oil and cashews. Other key sectors include oil and gas extraction, mining (gold, manganese), manufacturing and services. The currency is the West African CFA franc, 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. Since independence from France in 1960, the country has experienced periods of political stability and growth, notably under Félix Houphouët-Boigny, as well as civil conflict in the early 2000s, from which it has since recovered with sustained economic expansion.
