Gross Domestic Product in current US dollars NY.GDP.MKTP.CD
Burkina Faso's gdp was $26.9B in 2025, ranked 115th globally. This represents a 16.2% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1960–2025.
Overview
Burkina Faso's gdp stood at $26.9B in 2025, a rise of +$3.7B from 2024. The IMF projects $26.9B by 2025. Burkina Faso ranked 115th globally.
Burkina Faso’s gross domestic product has expanded from a modest 330,442,815.82 in 1960, its all‑time trough, to 26,866,000,000.00 in 2025, the highest level recorded in the 66‑year series and placing the country 115th globally. This growth reflects an average annual increase of roughly 4.5 percent, driven by gradual diversification of agriculture, mining and services, although the economy remains vulnerable to climatic shocks and commodity price fluctuations. In 2025 Burkina Faso’s output was only slightly below that of Mali, which posted 25,591,000,000.00, and marginally above Trinidad and Tobago’s 26,002,000,000.00, indicating that the West African nation is keeping pace with peers of similar size and development stage. The upward trajectory suggests that continued investment in infrastructure, human capital and climate‑resilient agriculture could sustain higher growth rates, while any reversal of global commodity trends or severe droughts would likely temper the momentum.
