Burkina Faso's gross Value Added (GVA) at basic prices (current LCU) was 14.71 trillion in 2025, the latest year in the World Bank's World Development Indicators. That is up 130.98% from 6.37 trillion in 2015 (8.73% a year on average, compounded).

What the numbers say
In 2025, Burkina Faso's gross Value Added (GVA) at basic prices (current LCU) rose 14.8% on 2024 (from 12.82 trillion to 14.71 trillion).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +9.1% and a typical year strayed about 5.4% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.1 standard deviations above that average, so it was larger than a typical year, though not out of the range seen before.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 27.8% in 1999 and the biggest yearly fall was 0.2% in 1986. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2016 to 2025 the straight-line trend is upward, about 804.96 billion a year. A straight line explains 96% of the movement over 10 observed years.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
A straight-line projection, tested first
Extending that straight line gives about 15.49 trillion for 2028. We show this only because the same method, fitted on earlier years, predicted 2023 to 2025 better than "no change" would have: its average miss was 1.61 trillion, against 2.1 trillion for assuming no change. Treat it as a continuation of the recent pattern, not a forecast of events: it cannot see a recession, a policy change or a revision to the data.

How it compares
In 2025, Burkina Faso had the 46th highest value of the 158 economies reporting that year. Higher is not always better: for some indicators the lowest value is the one to aim for. See the full ranking.

What this measures
Gross value added at basic prices reflects the price of products receivable by the producer exclusive of taxes payable on products and inclusive of subsidies receivable on products, less intermediate consumption valued at purchasers' prices. This indicator is expressed in current prices, meaning no adjustment has been made to account for price changes over time. This series is expressed in local currency units.
