This Investment Climate Survey Report
(ICSR) for Cote d'Ivoire evaluates the country's
business environment by (i) analyzing barriers to private
sector investment and growth and how they vary among
different types of firms, (ii) benchmarking the Ivorian
investment climate and firm performance to that of other
countries and (iii) providing recommendations to promote and
strengthen the private sector. The ICSR is supported by the
statistical analysis of a survey of firms based in Cote
d'Ivoire's major urban centers, as well as data
from other sources. This ICSR identifies key areas where
investment climate reforms may be warranted. It is largely
based on the analysis of Enterprise Survey data; which are
surveys of mostly manufacturing, formal sector enterprises
in the major industrial centers of an economy. Cote
d'Ivoire is one of the very few countries in
Sub-Saharan Africa with a ratio of manufacturing to GDP
higher than 15 percent.
