Côte d’Ivoire is the second fastest-growing economy in West Africa and the fourth fastest-growing economy in the world, with a GDP growth of almost 7% in 2023. Over the past decade, the country has experienced robust economic growth driven by political stability, strategic location in West Africa, a growing consumer market, and a diversified economy.
Major cities like Abidjan, with over 5 million inhabitants, are experiencing rapid urbanization, placing significant pressure on its public transportation infrastructure, and exacerbating environmental challenges. The transport sector is responsible for 15% of the national GHG emissions.
Under a new national agenda, the government calls for private sector development and investment to address the long-neglected infrastructure and transport systems. This represents a great opportunity for Swedish companies to provide sustainable transportation solutions to support Côte d’Ivoire in addressing these challenges while fostering economic development, improving citizens' quality of life, and reducing emissions.
