Ouagadougou

Ouagadougou is the capital and largest city of Burkina Faso, acting as the country’s political, administrative, and economic center. The city’s economy is anchored by trade, gold mining revenues, and public administration, within one of West Africa’s most landlocked nations.

Ouagadougou appears in African business news primarily in the context of Burkina Faso’s gold sector performance, the economic consequences of the Sahel security crisis, political transitions affecting investor confidence, and debates surrounding the country’s membership in regional economic frameworks.
