Côte d'Ivoire Frontera

Panorama económico e industrial

Côte d'Ivoire is the largest economy in the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) and the world's leading producer and exporter of cocoa, accounting for roughly 40% of global supply. The economy has sustained strong growth averaging over 6% annually since 2012, driven by agriculture, construction, services, and a nascent hydrocarbon sector. The country shares the West African CFA franc (XOF), pegged to the euro, with seven other WAEMU nations, providing monetary stability. Abidjan serves as the region's principal financial hub and hosts the Bourse Régionale des Valeurs Mobilières (BRVM), the sole stock exchange for all eight WAEMU member states. Key structural challenges include infrastructure gaps, reliance on commodity prices, and regional security pressures from neighboring countries.
