Côte d’Ivoire is currently planning its transition from developing to emerging economy. The basis for this is an ambitious development plan by the government, which provides for a structural transformation of the economy and aims to make the robust economic growth more inclusive. A key role will be played by targeted expansion of the industrial base and modernisation of agriculture. In this respect the West African country has already enjoyed some success.

The more swiftly these changes take place, the more likely it is that Côte d’Ivoire can achieve its ambitious development goals.
