The Burkinabe Council of Ministers adopted a report on Thursday that revealed a particularly positive budgetary and treasury performance for the state as of September 30, 2025, signaling resilience and strong domestic resource mobilization.
Minister of Economy and Finance, Dr. Aboubacar Nacanabo, presented the economic situation, disclosing that Burkina Faso had mobilized CFA 2,500 billion in domestic resources by the end of the third quarter. This figure represents an impressive 105 percent achievement rate compared to initial projections and a significant increase of CFA 388 billion compared to the same period in September 2024.
Minister Nacanabo highlighted the strategic benefit of this revenue surplus, stating that it freed up nearly CFA 1,200 billion for the prompt repayment of a large portion of the state’s domestic debt. This maneuver strengthens the state’s financial position and improves trust with local creditors.
Based on the strong fiscal performance, the Burkinabe official expressed clear optimism regarding the country’s economic prospects.
“Overall, the economy is doing much better because by the end of December 2025, we are expecting a growth rate of 6.28 percent,” argued the Minister. This projected growth rate provides an encouraging forecast for the country’s economic momentum entering the next fiscal year.
