Burkina Faso – Côte d’Ivoire: 2nd Largest Foreign Investor
According to SikaFinance, a WAEMU-based financial news platform, Burkina Faso’s foreign direct investment (FDI) stock reached 2,458.9 billion CFA francs (approximately USD 4.4 billion) by the end of 2023, marking a 2.8% increase from 2,392.5 billion CFA francs in 2022.
Among all foreign investors in Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire now ranks as the second largest, just behind Canada and ahead of Russia.
