After a negative average growth rate between 2000 and 2010, and a negative growth in 2011 of 4.7%, the growth rate reached 9.7% in 2012,9.1% in 2013 and we expect at least 9% in 2014.So Ivory Coast is changing, with a large number of infrastructures happening here and there", says Bruno Nabagné Kone.
