Ivory Coast — Business
Business in the Ivory Coast is fairly formal with punctuality a must, though more casual cotton safari suits are acceptable attire. Business is often conducted in French, but translators are readily available. Greeting and acknowledging each person present with a handshake is important. Business hours are usually from 7.30am to 12pm and 2.30pm to 6pm on weekdays, and from 8am to 12pm on Saturdays.
