Since 1960, Burkina Faso has recorded an appreciable economic growth which, though fluctuating, was reinforced during the past years with a real average annual growth rate of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of 5.5% between 2011 and 2015. However, because of a demographic growth rate estimated at 3.1%, average growth of per capita GDP was only 2.3%.
