Thanks to the unprecedented mobilization of more than 2,414 billion CFA francs in own-source revenue by 2025, Burkina Faso has reached a historic milestone in the management of its public finances. This remarkable achievement, driven by increased revenue collection and the commitment of national economic stakeholders, opens up new perspectives for development financing and the country’s resilience in the face of today’s many challenges.

Exceptional Revenue Mobilization

As of September 30, 2025, Burkina Faso had exceeded the amount mobilized for the same period in 2024 by 420 billion CFA francs. This growth is due to the strengthening of collection mechanisms and the improved performance of national financial authorities.

Budgetary Context and Issues

This strong mobilization comes in a context marked by security and economic challenges, prompting the authorities to intensify the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing. The regular session of the Ministerial Sector Board of Directors (CASEM) was held under the theme of combating illicit financing, illustrating the government’s commitment to sustainably consolidating public finances.

Patriotic Support Fund and Investments

Among the notable results, the Patriotic Support Fund (FSP) raised 142.6 billion CFA francs, or 95% of the annual forecast, thanks to the strong commitment of key companies such as BRAKINA and SODIBO. In addition, 84.3 billion CFA francs were mobilized through structural programs (AgriNova and JAAL), while 3.791 billion CFA francs in loans were granted to 19 large companies, contributing to economic recovery and job creation.

Ambitions and Outlook

Minister Aboubakar Nacanabo welcomes these achievements and encourages all stakeholders to redouble their efforts to optimize resource mobilization. The modernization of tax procedures, the emphasis on budget transparency, and the pursuit of structural reforms are all levers envisaged to build a resilient and sovereign economy.

Conclusion

This unprecedented mobilization of own revenues in 2025 places Burkina Faso on a promising trajectory to consolidate its financial sovereignty and support the financing of national development despite the multiple challenges encountered.
