Moreover, the country’s cocoa industry – a key source of growth, exports, and employment – is undergoing expensive reform. This, coupled with unpredictable weather patterns, is adding pressure on Côte d’Ivoire’s socioeconomic status through the impact on farmer welfare. That said, our outlook on the Ivorian economy remains positive, as we believe external pressures will abate, and that the domestic economic environment will improve. As such, we forecast real economic growth of 6.0% this year.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Service Industries","offers":[{"title":"August, 2023 \/ 6 Pages \/ MCW16277109","offer_id":47710238703922,"sku":null,"price":222.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.hardmanwell.com\/products\/macro-country-economic-forecasts-cote-divoire","provider":"HARDMAN AND WELL MANAGEMENT CONSULTANCIES L.L.C","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
