Burkina Faso engages financial sector to fund RELANCE Plan 2026-2030

Burkina Faso is coordinating with its financial sector to mobilize resources for national development and the implementation of the RELANCE Plan 2026-2030. The plan is estimated to cost 36 trillion CFA francs, with the state covering two-thirds of the funding through its own resources, while the remaining third is expected to come from external partners and the private sector.

Minister of Economy and Finance Aboubakar Nacanabo met with professional associations of banks, financial institutions, and microfinance entities to encourage their involvement. He highlighted that banks could play a critical role in financing large-scale state investments, as well as projects in education and health, particularly through public-private partnerships.

In a separate effort to implement Law No. 039/2023/ALT, the Caisse des Dépôts et d’Investissements du Burkina Faso (CDI-BF) held working sessions with banking and management companies. These discussions focused on establishing a shared understanding of regulatory frameworks, operational implications, and practical methods for the mobilization and transfer of regulated public resources.
