The Ivorian government adopts a decree for a 549.5-hectare plot of land in Bouaké

A strategic project to develop Bouaké’s logistics and industrial zone

The Côte d’Ivoire government recently adopted a decree declaring a 549.5-hectare plot of land near the Sakassou interchange to be in the public interest. This area is earmarked for the development and construction of Bouaké’s future logistics and industrial zone, as part of an initiative to boost the region’s economic development.

A project to boost business competitiveness

The project aims to provide investors with a modern infrastructure, thus enhancing the competitiveness and performance of companies wishing to set up in this strategic region. It is in line with the government’s policy of developing logistics, industrial and commercial hubs, a key lever for boosting the national economy.

Encouraging the search for alternative financing

In this context, local authorities are encouraged to explore alternative financing mechanisms, outside state budgets, in order to meet the growing need for infrastructure and public services.

Bouaké, a booming economic hub

Bouaké, Côte d’Ivoire’s third-largest economic hub after Abidjan and San Pedro, stands out for its ambition to diversify its sources of financing. The “Bouaké Nouveau” program bears witness to this commitment. In 2024, the city organized the “Invest in Bouaké” economic forum, which led to the signing of 14 agreements, including a major partnership with Kenyan company United Aryan Unlimited, which has committed to investing $350 million to build a textile factory.

Conclusion: A promising project for Bouaké’s economic future

This logistics and industrial development project for Bouaké is a key step in strengthening its attractiveness as an economic center. With initiatives such as the “Bouaké Nouveau” program and growing foreign investment, the city is positioning itself as a major player in industrial and economic development in Côte d’Ivoire.
