225 Business is an Ivorian, French‑language media outlet focused on the country’s economy and the wider African business environment. Its newsroom covers fiscal policy, infrastructure and industry through its Biz’Actu reporting, offering concise explainers and context on developments that shape the business climate. Recent pieces have examined alleged misuse of public funds and oversight at the finance ministry, reforms to urban land tenure through the Attestation de Droit d’Usage coutumier (ADU), and financing for the coastal highway backed by the West African Development Bank. Bylines from local contributors, including Clémentine Touré and Françoise Konan, underline its emphasis on original, locally grounded journalism. Alongside domestic coverage, 225 Business curates a steady stream of pan‑African corporate and development updates via a dedicated African Media Agency (AMA) feed, carrying announcements from institutions such as the World Bank and features on sectors from health to telecoms. Content is organized into sections like Biz’Actu and International, with an “Opportunités” strand that surfaces calls for applications and funding relevant to SMEs (for example, BlueInvest Africa 2026). The outlet’s mix of reported stories and wire‑style briefs serves entrepreneurs, executives and policy watchers who need timely, practical insight on Ivory Coast while keeping sight of regional dynamics.
