Côte d’Ivoire Positions for Growth Amid Global Uncertainty

In a new episode of the Africa Legal podcast, Dr Francky Lukanda, Partner at Ofori Conseils Africa LLP, joins Scott Cowan to discuss how Côte d’Ivoire is strengthening its position as one of Francophone Africa’s leading investment destinations. The conversation explores the country’s response to global economic disruption through sovereign investment reforms, logistics modernisation and regulatory clarity, alongside developments in infrastructure, banking and natural resources. Lukanda highlights Côte d’Ivoire’s proposed sovereign fund, labour reforms, and the growing importance of the Port of Abidjan as a regional trade hub, while examining how the country can convert economic growth into long-term investment, stability and sustainable development. “For an investor looking to expand into Francophone Africa while minimising risk, I believe Côte d’Ivoire would be at the top of the list,” says Lukanda.
