Bilateral investment treaties (BITs) between Singapore and two West African countries, Nigeria and Côte d’Ivoire, have officially entered into force, aimed at strengthening legal protections for cross-border investments and supporting economic cooperation. The announcement was made by Minister-in-charge of Trade Relations Grace Fu at the 8th Africa Singapore Business Forum. According to the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI), the agreements are intended to enhance certainty and security for investors from all three countries by outlining rules for fair treatment, capital transfers, and dispute resolution. The Nigeria-Singapore BIT was signed in 2016 and came into effect on 22 August 2025 after both countries completed their domestic ratification processes.   https://sbr.com.sg/economy/news/singapore-formalises-investment-pacts-two-west-african-states (ICE SINGAPORE)
