Ibrahim Traore's Gold Strategy Lifts Burkina Faso Economy With IMF Support | Firstpost Africa | N18G

Ibrahim Traoré’s gamble on gold is starting to yield returns for Burkina Faso’s military government, which is benefiting from a significant mining boom. The country recorded a record 94 tonnes of gold production in 2025, enhancing revenues and unlocking a $33.2 million disbursement from the IMF following a positive economic review. Despite ongoing security challenges, GDP growth reached an estimated 5% in 2025. The government’s stabilisation plan focuses on tightening mining revenue collection, controlling inflation, and managing borrowing levels. Furthermore, the IMF has approved an additional $124 million to support climate-resilient agriculture. However, the Fund warns that risks remain, necessitating stricter mining oversight and continued governance reforms to sustain this momentum. --- Burkina Faso, Mining boom | Gold | Burkina Faso economy | GDP | Firstpost Africa | Alyson Le Grange | Africa | Global South | Geopolitics | Military Coup | Environment | Climate Change | Firstpost | News Live | World News | Latest News | Global News | International News | News | Trending News #burkinafaso #economy #mining #gold #firstpostafrica #africa #alysonlegrange #globalsouth #militarycoup #firstpost #newslive #worldnews #latestnews #globalnews #news #internationalnews #trendingnews Firstpost is an Indian news and media website.
