Côte d'Ivoire's Economic Capital Regains Its Status
Yamoussoukro Remains the Political Capital, but Abidjan Takes Back the Administrative Role
Abidjan, the largest city in Côte d'Ivoire, has regained its position as the country's administrative capital.
Since 1983, Yamoussoukro has been the political capital of Côte d'Ivoire, while Abidjan served as the administrative center. However, most countries maintained their embassies in Abidjan, highlighting its continued importance.
Despite Yamoussoukro's status as the political capital, Abidjan remains the economic hub of Côte d'Ivoire and is considered its de facto capital. The city is home to the country's largest port and serves as a major economic center for the region.
The decision to return the administrative capital status to Abidjan aligns with the country's focus on economic development and growth. Abidjan's strategic location and infrastructure make it an ideal base for businesses and foreign investors.
This change marks a significant development in Côte d'Ivoire's administrative structure and is a testament to the country's commitment to progress and economic advancement.
