Burkina Faso’s leadership under Ibrahim Traoré is moving to tighten state control over key parts of the economy, with new steps targeting both gold and cotton sectors. Reports suggest the government is seeking a larger stake in major gold projects, while also advancing plans to bring the country’s dominant cotton company under full state control. Officials argue the shift is aimed at increasing national revenue, stabilising strategic industries, and reducing dependence on foreign operators. Supporters see it as a push for economic sovereignty, while critics warn it could affect investor confidence. The broader trend reflects a growing wave of resource nationalism across parts of Africa.
