Ivory Coast has increased its 2014 budget by nearly 4 percent on expectations of higher earnings from cocoa, natural gas and the country's ports, a government spokesman announced on Wednesday. Ivory Coast, the world's top cocoa grower and French-speaking West Africa's largest economy, has undergone a rapid economic turnaround since the end of a decade of political turmoil in 2011. Its economy grew around 9 percent last year. "The cabinet adopted a finance bill revision that brings the 2014 state budget to 4,407 billion CFA francs ($9.16 billion), up from 4,248 billion CFA francs initially," government spokesman Bruno Kone said following a cabinet meeting.
