Côte d’Ivoire, with a population of approximately 26 million, has one of the fastest-growing economies in Africa. As of 2023, the country’s GDP is around $79.5 billion, and its per capita income is approximately $3,000. The economy is heavily reliant on agriculture, with Côte d’Ivoire being one of the world’s largest producers of cocoa, coffee, and palm oil. In recent years, the government has made strides to diversify the economy, with growing sectors in manufacturing, services, and infrastructure development. 

The country’s economic growth is further supported by a stable political environment, foreign investment, and strong trade relationships, particularly with Europe and other African nations. Despite these advancements, challenges such as poverty and unemployment persist, but overall, Côte d’Ivoire shows strong growth potential for the future.
