Niger economic trends and export growth

Overview

In July 2026, Niger recorded a 2% deflation rate, distinguishing it from neighboring Mali and Burkina Faso, which experienced inflation rates of 2.8% and 2.3% respectively.

Regarding trade, Niger saw significant export growth in 2025, with export revenue reaching US$2.13 billion, a 93.6% increase from 2024. This revenue is heavily concentrated in crude oil, processed petroleum oils, and unwrought gold, which together account for 95.8% of total export value. Major trading partners include Italy (40.4%) and the Netherlands (29.6%). A 4.5% decline in the West African CFA franc against the US dollar between 2024 and 2025 has reportedly made Niger’s exports more affordable for international buyers.
