Burkina Faso reached 89 per cent implementation rate for the West African Economic and Monetary Union (Uemoa) community reforms by 2025, the institution announced on Tuesday during its 11th annual review in Ouagadougou.
“In 2025, Burkina Faso consolidated its performance with an 89 per cent reform implementation rate. The evaluation covered 145 reforms, compared to 132 in 2024,” stated Abdoulaye Diop, President of the Uemoa Commission.
The review, co-chaired by Mr. Diop and Burkina Faso’s Minister of Economy and Finance, Dr. Aboubakar Nacanabo, who also serves as President of the Uemoa Council of Ministers, brought together members of the Burkinabe government to discuss the progress of community policies and prospects for strengthening regional integration.
The Minister described the review as a “moment of truth,” emphasizing that the exercise aims to measure the real impact of the reforms on economies and populations, beyond mere administrative monitoring.
“These are community texts that the eight member states have decided to implement to strengthen economic integration and combat poverty,” he said.
Burkina Faso also welcomed the strengthening of its coordination with the Uemoa Commission, particularly through the appointment of a focal point dedicated to monitoring community commitments.
