Ivory Coast seeks to raise $3 billion on the regional market in 2022

ABIDJAN (Reuters) – Ivory Coast seeks to raise over 2 trillion CFA francs ($3.32 billion) on the West Africa regional market in 2022, the Treasury director general, Jacques Assahore, said on Thursday.

The country raised 2.7 trillion CFA francs on the regional market last year, Assahore said at a press conference in Abidjan.

President Alassane Ouattara said this week he was cutting the size of his cabinet to reduce state spending.
