Ivory Coast :2012 Perspectives for Dummies

tape — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 18:03:20 +0000

From Diary of an Ivorian entrepreneur ” I’m NO Warren Buffett so don’t think I know it all. What I do know tough is when to retire from a table and join a new one. New Table, new rules same poker chips so let the game begin. ”

The Government
Since the change of power in Ivory Coast ending the political crisis, new prospects and perspectives are opening up for a country that couple of months ago was heading straight for the abyss. Now more than ever, we are assisting at a real ballet of investors knocking at the doors of the country. But when the dust settles, what’s real and what’s not? By the look of things, it appears to me that the main focus of the government at this time is: taking care of the high level on unemployment, get the infrastructures renovated, restructure the educational system, which has heavily deteriorated over the past decade and also invest into the mechanization of agriculture.

Ismael Coulibaly goes on saying :”Read one of my earliest post called Land And Farming: The New Scramble For Africa and you will be able to read between the lines. This is no DA VINCI CODE, so let’s cut to the chase; West Africa is currently turning into a hot zone for Investments.”
