Strenghts
  • Stable macroeconomic and political environment have supported robust economic growth, making it the second-fastest growing nation in African over last decade.
  • Leading commodity exporter with significant market power over cocoa and increasing player in the oil market, boosted by recent new field discoveries.
  • As a member of the West African Economic and Monetary Union, it enjoys relative monetary stability and access to a liquidity pool mechanism that mitigates convertibility and transfer risk.
  • The government benefited from considerable debt relief in recent years amid a significant improvement of the business climate.
Weaknesses
  • Côte d’Ivoire captures only around 4-6% of total revenue from the cocoa market, leading to modest overall fiscal revenues (17% of GDP).
  • Vulnerability to climatic effects on agricultural output, production constraints due to weather and lack of investment in long-term forest sustainability.   
  • Exogenous risks from its northern neighbors in the Sahel region, which is currently experiencing economic, security and political challenges.
