P. Kipré—~~The Economic Recession in the Urban Centres of Ivory Coast (1930-1935)~~. The 1929 World Recession reached Ivory Coast early in 1931, putting an end to a period of growth started in 1926. Due to the very nature of the colonial trading economy the urban centres were stricken harder than the countryside, which reacted to the crisis by a partial return to pre-colonial production and exchange practices. The smaller firms, both European and African, were hit far more severely than the big intercolonial compa-nies, with many of them going bankrupt. Urban growth was slowed down, many city dwellers finding themselves out of a job. Despite the crisis, however, there were few African. reactions partly due to the fact that those with secure regular salaries benefited to some extent from the fall in prices of imported goods The small people especially the first planters suffered more because the prices of export produces went down quicker and more drastically Governor rehabilitation program 1933-1935 was partly suc cessful but resulted in an aggravation of the unbalance between the useful and marginal parts of the country Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
