Côte d'Ivoire's development objective for the next five years is to secure its position as "an emerging economy by 2020".
To support the country to achieve this goal, Akinwumi Adesina, President of the African Development Bank, hosted a reception for members of the General Confederation of Enterprises of Côte d'Ivoire (CGECI) on Thursday, February 11, 2016 in Abidjan, to boost the relationship between the two institutions. Senior Managers from the Bank's Private Sector Department (OPSD) and Financial Sector Department (OFSD) were in attendance to interact with the country's investors and key business persons.
