Gold output, CFA franc dynamics, security risk, and fiscal capacity
Burkina Faso
Burkina mandates NGO accounts at the Treasury Deposits Bank, tightening fiscal control and nudging bank funding costs higher. Track XAUUSD and EMB alongside deposit trends, loan pricing, and settlement timeliness to gauge liquidity and execution risk.
