Burkina Fasos GDP (PPP) is estimated at $62.7 billion in 2025. Agriculture, particularly cotton and livestock, dominates, with gold mining as a key export. The PPP adjustment reflects a low cost of living, amplifying GDP. Security challenges from jihadist insurgencies and political instability disrupt economic activity, while poverty affects most of the population. Infrastructure deficits and climate vulnerability hinder growth. Burkina Faso is focusing on improving security and diversifying agriculture, but reliance on external aid and limited industrial capacity constrain long-term development prospects.
