U.S. - Côte d’Ivoire Virtual Business and Investment Roundtable with H.E. Mamadou Sangafowa-Coulibaly

This virtual roundtable will focus on investment opportunities in Côte d’Ivoire’s mining and energy sectors and enable Minister Sangafowa-Coulibaly to engage with investors in those value chains.

Côte d’Ivoire remains the economic engine of francophone West Africa. With real GDP growth averaging 8.2% between 2012-2019, Côte d’Ivoire successfully contained the COVID-19 pandemic and maintained a 2% rate in 2020. In 2021, the country returned to its high-growth trajectory, posting an average real GDP growth of 6.5% between 2021 and 2023. In 2024, growth is projected to remain robust at 6.5%, driven by strong public and private investment and buoyant domestic consumption.

The Government of Côte d’Ivoire has been diversifying its agribusiness-based economy and identified mining and energy as its next growth levers. This virtual roundtable will focus on investment opportunities in Côte d’Ivoire’s mining and energy sectors and enable Minister Sangafowa-Coulibaly to engage with investors in those value chains.

This discussion will take place under Chatham House rules to encourage an open discussion, without specific attribution.
