Kiosqeco (Le Kiosque de l’économie) is a francophone business news outlet based in Ivory Coast that covers African markets and the public policies shaping them. Its reporting spans macroeconomics, banking and capital markets, energy, infrastructure, regional integration and the green economy, with regular updates from West and Central Africa. The newsroom mixes straight news with interviews and explainers informed by ministries, regulators and multilateral lenders. It has published conversations on land restoration and climate with UNCCD officials and tracks trade and integration agendas across the ECOWAS region. In June 2024, a Kiosqeco correspondent earned the Bloomberg Media Initiative Africa certificate in economic and financial journalism during the program’s first francophone cohort in Abidjan, underscoring an investment in professional standards. Recent coverage has examined Senegal’s Treasury auctions, Morocco’s eurobond issuance, Bank-funded agri‑industrial zones, and anti‑disinformation initiatives led by REPPRELCI in Abidjan, alongside corporate news in banking and logistics. Publishing in French, Kiosqeco serves executives, entrepreneurs, investors and public decision‑makers who need sector‑driven reporting grounded in policy and market context. Its “Focus” pieces regularly unpack trends such as the growth of e‑commerce and shifts in media consumption that affect the broader economy. With a Ivory Coast vantage point and a pan‑African brief, the outlet brings accessible, data‑aware coverage to readers who follow how finance, infrastructure and energy translate into real‑economy outcomes.
