BURKINA FASO - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

Burkina Faso is a poor, landlocked country that depends on adequate rainfall. About 80% of the population is engaged in subsistence farming and cotton is the main cash crop. The country has few natural resources and a weak industrial base. Cotton and gold are Burkina Faso’s key exports and Burkina Faso’s economic growth and revenue depends on global prices for the two commodities. The Burkinabe economy experienced high levels of growth over the last few years and gold accounted for about three-quarters of the country’s total export revenues in 2013. The country has seen an upswing in gold exploration, production, and exports. Burkina Faso experienced a number of public protests over the high cost of living, corruption, and other socioeconomic issues in 2013 and the fall of the COMPAORE government in 2014 gave rise to laborers pushing for better pay and working conditions. A new three-year IMF program was approved in 2013 to focus on improving the quality of public investment and ensuring inclusive growth. Political insecurity in neighboring Mali, unreliable energy supplies, and poor transportation links pose long-term challenges.

"Ivory Coast - Burkina Faso Hero Moto Corp settles

 

The family of the two wheels is growing. Hero Moto Corp Ltd has just made its entry into Africa. This Indian company opened a representation in Burkina Faso and Côte d'Ivoire. The official launch of its activities took place last month in Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso). This, in the presence of Minister of Trade and Handicrafts, the Speaker of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry and General Manager of Coris Bank International. In line with its global expansion ambitions, Hero Moto Corp Ltd, the largest manufacturer of two-wheeled world, decided to put on Burkinabe and Ivorian markets its brand 'Hero'. For the marketing of its machines, this structure has partnered with one of the most famous houses in Burkina Faso: the African Society of Cycles (SAC-SA). With this alliance, SIDAF Group which is a branch of the Sac-Sa has been appointed authorized distributor of the range of two-wheel Hero. The vice president of Hero Moto Corp of Sales and Services, Deepak Mokashi, welcomed the opening of this representation in Burkina Faso. "(...) This is the first time we walk with our products, African soil, especially in West Africa. We hope that this adventure will experience a success" said Deepak Mokashi, he noted that the African continent is a strategic market for his company. "Our vision is to provide practical products, economic consumption for each customer. We are committed to serving both wheels of clients across Africa" he argued. Noting that he is convinced that their product will interest the maximum customers. Deepak Mokashi, explaining the choice of Burkina Faso for the opening of this representation, said that this is one of stable countries in the subregion. Added to this is the density of its market in terms of both wheels. He noted that his company annually produces 32,000 motorcycles. And "A motorcycle two in India is manufactured by Hero," noted the vice president of this multinational. Before announcing that the construction of an assembly plant is planned in Burkina Faso, 2015. For its part, Abdoulaye Traoré the General Administrator and Chief of SAC-SA  represents Hero Moto Corp in Burkina Faso and Ivory Coast, underlined that both wheels are the reference means of transport in Burkina Faso. And Ivory Coast is no exception. For he will say, the last ten years, there has been a widespread use of these devices north-central Ivory Coast. "My company is very honored to have been chosen as the authorized distributor of the brand in these countries", welcomed Mr Traoré, who announced that nine Hero motorcycle models are already available on the market Burkina Faso. Abdoulaye Traore also informed that the representation of Bouaké (Ivory Coast) will be operational in a few weeks. The Minister of Industry, Trade and Handicrafts of Burkina Faso, Patiendé Arthur Kafando, chairman of the ceremony, expressed his gratitude to the officials of this company who trusted in Burkina to house its representation. This implementation for him, is an important step in the promotion of the two wheels of the country "Honest Men". It is worth noting that this ceremony was also marked by the launch of the Premium 223 cc motorcycle, "Karizma ZMR" of the "Glamour" and "Super Splendor"."
