ABIDJAN (Reuters) - India's Export-Import Bank (Eximbank) will issue a $176.3 million loan to Ivory Coast for public works initiatives, including projects in construction and information technology, said Ivory Coast's prime minister Daniel Kablan Duncan.
The loan was announced during a visit by India's president Pranab Mukherjee to the world's top cocoa and cashew producer, which issued two Eurobonds totalling $1.75 billion in 2014 and 2015.
