"After three years of administration and private sector reforms by government, we can see we are on track with regard to the key indicators. As we all know, Côte d’Ivoire had a negative growth rate of -4.7% in 2011, which then moved to 8.3% in 2012; and this remained almost unchanged in 2013 and 2014. Security has improved significantly in the country and there have been a lot of reforms undertaken to improve the business environment. According to the Doing Business Report, we are amongst the top 10 reforming countries, even though we admit there still are further reforms to undertake. By way of example, we created the Court of Commerce and defined its modus operandi; and worked to reduce litigation settlement time to 45 days, with communication on the whole process", says Souleymane Diarrassouba.
