Doing business in Côte d'Ivoire handbook digital download

At a glance…

Thinking about Côte d’Ivoire as an investment or export opportunity? Here’s a market snapshot:

  • Côte d’Ivoire is one of the most stable economies in West Africa and it is seeking partners, including companies from abroad, to work with.
  • Its location on the west coast of Africa makes it an important gateway for trading into and from other African countries.
  • Côte d’Ivoire is the UK’s 97th largest export market, accounting for just 0.1% of total UK exports, so there remains much untapped potential.
  • Growth prospects for Côte d’Ivoire’s economy are strong and it weathered the Covid pandemic much better than most countries.
  • The government is pursuing a private sector-led growth model and welcomes foreign direct investment by offering tax incentives to companies in accordance with priorities identified in the 2021-2025 National Development Plan.
  • Passport and visa requirements are undemanding and the timezone makes it easy for UK businesses to work with their Ivoirian partners.
