Burkina Faso

1. Country / Territory Brief

Located in the middle of West Africa, north of Ghana, Burkina Faso is a very strategic LDC in terms of West Africa’s regional

integration. Burkina Faso is a member of nearly all West African institutions and is home to the WAEMU headquarters. The

country is striving to enhance its infrastructure and communication strategies (ICTs) with the support of key development

institutions such as the World Bank and the African Development Bank in order to boost its competitiveness. Burkina has placed

itself as one of the leading players in the region for the export of cotton and also increasingly for the export of gold which has

become its largest export commodity.

Burkina Faso is an eligible country under the Enhanced Integrated Framework and has already undertaken a tier 2 project to

boost sesame exports in its efforts to diversify its economy. Furthermore, despite some minor trouble spots, the country has

been experiencing well acclaimed years of political stability and has made significant efforts to enhance its business

environment. Burkina is also part of ITC’s Ethical fashion initiative which promotes its well-known hand woven fabrics to the

fashion industry.

4.2 Domestic and Foreign Market Access

Overview: Trade Policy and Business Environment

Burkina Faso is classified as a low-income country as well as a Least Developed Country (LDC). The country was ranked 133rd

out of 138 countries in the latest World Economic Forum’s Enabling Trade Index (2014), which measures institutions, policies

and services to facilitate the trade in countries. Burkina Faso relies heavily on cotton and gold exports for revenue. Despite its

recent fast growth rate, the economy is vulnerable due to the volatile nature of international price for commodity. Approximately

90 percent of the population lives on subsistence agriculture. Around 65.8% of population live in poverty, whereas inequality and

social exclusion are prevailing. Currently, Burkina Faso is facing the challenges of corruption, poor infrastructure, turmoil in

neighbouring countries, etc. It is important for the country to diversify its commodity portfolio and lower its dependence on

donors and natural resources.

Bertelsmann Stiftung, 2014, Burkina Faso Country Report

INDICATOR, UNITS RANK/132 SCORE

Domestic Market Access The pillar assesses the level and complexity of a country’s tariff protection

as a result of its trade policy. This component includes the effective trade-weighted average tariff

applied by a country, the share of goods imported duty free and the complexity of the tariff regime,

measured through tariff variance, the prevalence of tariff peaks and specific tariffs, and the number

of distinct tariffs.

110 3.85

Foreign Market Access The pillar assesses tariff barriers faced by a country’s exporters in destination

markets. It includes the average tariffs faced by the country as well as the margin of preference in

destination markets negotiated through bilateral or regional trade agreements or granted in the form

of trade preferences.

81 2.28

Tariff rate (%) This indicator is calculated as a trade-weighted average of all the applied tariff rates,

including preferential rates that a country applies to the rest of the world. The weights are the trade

patterns of the importing country’s reference group (2012 data). An applied tariff is a customs duty

that is levied on imports of merchandise goods.

110 10.81

Complexity of tariffs , index 1-7 (best) This indicator is calculated as the average of the following

indicators: Tariff dispersion, Specific tariffs and Number of distinct tariffs. See description of each

individual indicator for more details. Prior to averaging, values for each indicator were transformed to

a 1–7 score, using the min-max method.

6 6.70

Tariffs dispersion (standard deviation) This indicator reflects differences in tariffs across product

categories in a country’s tariff structure. The variance is calculated across all the tariffs on imported

merchandise goods, at the 6-digit level of the Harmonized Schedule.

26 6.83

Tariffs peaks (%) This indicator is the ratio of the number of tariff lines exceeding three times the

average domestic tariff (across all products) to the MFN (most-favoured nation) tariff schedule. The

tariff schedule is equal to the total number of tariff lines for each country. These tariffs are revised on

a yearly basis.

1 0.00

Specific tariffs (%) This indicator is the ratio of the number of Harmonized System (HS) tariff lines,

with at least one specific tariff, to the total number of HS tariff lines. A specific tariff is a tariff rate

charged on fixed amount per quantity (as opposed to ad valorem)

1 0.00

Number of distinct tariffs This indicator reflects the number of distinct tariff rates applied by a country

to its imports across all sectors.

5 4.00

Share of duty-free imports (%) Share of trade, excluding petroleum, that is imported free of tariff

duties, taking into account MFN tariffs and preferential agreements. Tariff data is from 2013 or most

recent year available and imports data is from 2012

115 19.33

Tariffs faced (%) This indicator is calculated as the trade-weighted average of the applied tariff rates,

including preferential rates that the rest of the world applies to each country. The weights are the

trade patterns of the importing country’s reference group (2012 data). A tariff is a customs duty that is

levied by the destination country on imports of merchandise goods

48 5.31

Index of margin of preference in destination markets, 0-100 (best) This indicator measures the

percentage by which particular imports from one country are subject to lower tariffs than the MFN

rate. It is calculated as the average of two components: 1) the trade-weighted average difference

between the MFN tariff and the most advantageous preferential duty (advantage score), and 2) the

ratio of the advantage score to the trade-weighted average MFN tariff level. This allows capturing

both the absolute and the relative margin of preference.

88 14.76

Trade Policy and Market Access

Burkina Faso has been a member of WTO since 1995. Burkina Faso’s average MFN applied tariff in 2012 was 11.9 per cent.

Agricultural exports into the country face higher barriers (14.6 per cent) compared to non-agricultural exports (11.5 per cent).

Burkina Faso has not concluded any plurilateral agreements under the aegis of the WTO, yet its participation in WTO is largely

limited due to lack of capability and resources. At regional level, Burkina Faso is an active member of the West African

Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), both of which are

aimed to establish free movement of goods. One of its objectives is to promote trade within the WAEMU community by

exempting certain import requirements for products of WAEMU origins. Half of the total trading value of Burkina Faso is

conducted in an intra- community manner, and the government prioritizes export in sectors of cotton; livestock, meat, and hides

and skins; shea nuts, sesame and mangoes; arts and crafts; and tourism. Moreover, being WAEMU member state, Burkina

Faso has been applying the common external tariff (CET) since 2000, however a harmonizing framework for tariff bindings at

community level is still in the preparatory phase. Burkina Faso is eligible for the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA)

program established by the US, and is currently negotiating for an Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) with the EU under

the framework of ECOWAS and WAEMU.

WTO, 2010, Trade Policy Review (Benin, Burkina Faso and Mali – Burkina Faso)

Standard Compliance and Other Relevant Import/Export Restrictions

Considering its compliance with Sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) measures, Burkina Faso participate in the standard-setting

organizations of Codex Alimentarius Commission, the World Organization for Animal Health and the International Plant

Protection Convention (IPPC). The Directorate of Plant Protection and Market Preparation (DPVC), within the Ministry of

Agriculture, Water Resources and Fisheries (MAHRH), is responsible for phytosanitary safety and serves as the national

enquiry point for the SPS Agreement. In recent years, the Government received technical and/or financial assistance to

enhance the country’s SPS-related capacity from various donors. With regards to the technical barrier to trade (TBT) issue, the

Standardization and Quality Promotion Bureau (FASONORM) is the national enquiry point on TBT and is working on

standardization, quality, certification etc. So far, Burkina Faso has not issued any SPS or TBT notifications to the WTO.

4.3 Trade Facilitation

Description

According to the 2014 World Bank’s Logistics Performance Index (LPI) which measures countries’ trade

logistics efficiency, Burkina Faso is ranked 98th out of 155 countries and all scores including customs,

international shipments, logistics competence, tracking and tracing, timeliness, and infrastructure are higher

than the average scores of Sub-Saharan Africa region and lower income group. However, the OECD Trade

Facilitation Indicators (2013) suggests that Burkina Faso only performs better than the averages of Sub-

Saharan African and low income countries in the area of internal border agency co-operation whereas its

advance rulings, appeal procedures, harmonisation and simplification of documents and streamlining of

procedures are below the averages of those countries. This is in line with the finding of the World Bank Doing

Business report 2014, which estimates that the exporters wait 41 days and spend $2,455 for the export,

whereas it takes 31 waiting days and costs $2,108 for other Sub-Saharan African countries, on average. With

regard to importing, it takes 49 days and costs $4,430 for Madagascar, while 38 days and costs $2,793 for

the comparator countries. So far, although the good international connectivity is a key for Burkina Faso to

conduct international trade, and it is therefore essential to design adequate international road network and

decrease documentation requirement, the government has not made much progress so far and its ability of

road maintenance, high transport and transit costs and ability of enforcement to control borders remain

challenges.

4.4 Business and Regulatory Environment

Description

The World Bank Doing Business 2014 ranked Burkina Faso 154th out of 189 economies. It performed

relatively better in dealing with constructions permits performs (60th), yet other indicators remain rather

deficient, particularly those of trading across borders (174th) and paying taxes (160th). According to the

2014 Index of Economic Freedom, despite the fact that Burkina Faso had been on an upward trend in the

index and its overall ranking is above global average, the country is still among the “mostly unfree” category.

On the one hand, countries have made notable progress in advancing economic freedom and promoting

regulatory reforms, such as simplifying the business start-up process and facilitating modest private- sector

growth. On the other hand, systemic weaknesses remain in the protection of property rights, which is

exacerbated by an inefficient judicial system that remains vulnerable to political influence, and hinder the

development of a more dynamic entrepreneurial environment. Little progress has been achieved in the fight

against corruption. The formation of monopolies and oligopolies is not regulated consistently due to strong

performance of state-owned enterprises and their opposition, though the government remains partly

committed to its privatization program. Although foreign trade officially follows non-discrimination principles,

several factors–such as supplementary taxes on imports, targeted import bans, as well as significant nontariff

barriers such as inadequate infrastructure and corruption–limit foreign trade.
