Foreign Trade in Figures

Burkina Faso is open to foreign trade which represents 59% of the country’s GDP (World bank, latest available data). As part of the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU), Burkina Faso has regulated its tariff structure. Goods produced in the Union are exempt from import tax. While customs duties (apart from oil) have been reduced from 200% to 66%, they continue to account for as much as 14.7% of total tax revenue (World Bank). However, internal and external crisis (in neighboring Mali), as well as the actions of radical groups in the Sahel, have had a negative impact on trade and the industrial outlook. The future railway linking Burkina Faso and Ghana is expected to strengthen trade between the two countries.

Gold is the greatest export (81.4% of its total exports). Burkina Faso is one of the largest exporters of cotton in West Africa, and its production of cotton has quadrupled in the past ten years. However, the commodity has seen its share in the exports decrease from 15.8% of total exports in 2016 to 6% in 2020 (Comtrade). The country’s main imports are petroleum oils (20.8%), drugs (4.8%), cement (4%), electrical energy (3.4%), vehicles (2.5%) and rice (2.4%). Burkina Faso mainly exports to Switzerland (76.3%), India (6.8%), Ivory Coast (2.9%), Singapore (2.7%) and Ghana (1.4%); while imports come chiefly from China (12.4%), Ivory Coast (8.2%), France (7.3%), the USA (7.1%) and Russia (6.9%).

Burkina Faso’s trade balance is structurally negative, but trade deficit has been decreasing gradually over the past years due to increased exports and lower imports. According to the Statistics Office (INSD), the trade balance has turned positive since the second quarter of 2020. During the first and second quarter of 2021, the cumulative trade surplus amounted to FCFA 304.2 billion (INSD). According to WTO data, in 2020 exports of goods rose to USD 4.47 billion, while imports of goods decreased to USD 4.12 billion. Services exports generated USD 413 million while services imports cost the country USD 1.57 billion (WTO).
