Overview of Côte d’Ivoire: An Open Country for Foreign Investments

Jean-François Bijon, Economic Counselor at the Embassy of France in Côte d’Ivoire, talks about the role of the Embassy, which is to understand the economic and financial situation of the country, and build relationships with people and institutions that allow understanding what is happening and what are the drivers of the local economy.

Mr. Bijon also talks about foreign investment in the country, saying that Côte d’Ivoire is traditionally an open country, thus there are almost no limitation of areas that are open to foreign investment, or the obligations of partnership, capital partnership or partnership with national companies.
