Côte d'Ivoire Launches €58 Billion Integrated Mining and Energy Policy for Economic Growth

In December 2025, Côte d'Ivoire adopted the Integrated Policy for Mineral Resources and Energy (PIRME), allocating approximately €58 billion (38,000 billion FCFA) over 15 years. The strategy aims to develop the mining and energy sectors as sustainable economic growth drivers, with goals to enhance exploration, production, and local processing.

The PIRME anticipates increasing mineral and hydrocarbon production, enhancing local value addition, and boosting renewable energy to ensure affordable and reliable access. The mining sector currently contributes about 5% to the GDP, with gold production reaching 58 tons in 2024, targeting 100 tons annually by 2030.

National oil production aims for nearly 500,000 barrels per day by 2035, supported by recent offshore discoveries. The country is also attracting international investments and partnerships, particularly in solar energy, with an estimated investment need of over €6.8 billion in electricity over the next decade.
