Investing in Benin

Strategic location, business-climate reforms and major structural projects: the strengths of a country in transformation.

Investing in Benin

A reformed business climate

Benin has undertaken a series of reforms to simplify company formation, building permits, electricity connection and property transfer. Digitalising public services and customs formalities is a priority.

Key strengths

  • A corridor position: the Port of Cotonou serves Niger, Burkina Faso, Mali and northern Nigeria.
  • Institutional stability recognised since the democratic renewal of 1990.
  • A euro-pegged currency (CFA franc), within WAEMU and ECOWAS.
  • An integrated industrial zone at Glo-Djigbé (GDIZ), dedicated to local processing of cotton, soybeans, cashew and shea.

Growth sectors

Agri-industry and processing, renewable energy, port logistics, digital services, cultural and memorial tourism.
