    Ivory Coast has been ranked by the Standards and Poor (S&P) global ratings as the highest-rated sovereign in Sub-Saharan Africa with Foreign debt outstanding. Ivory Coast is the world’s largest producer of Cocoa and just managed to edge South Africa off the first position due to an improving debt profile.

The outlook has been changed to stable from positive. The sovereign's local and foreign currency short-term issuer ratings were affirmed at Not Prime (NP).
