Benin Sınır

Ekonomi ve sektör genel bakışı

Benin is a lower-middle-income West African economy with nominal GDP of approximately $21.5 billion (2024), achieving 7.5% real growth in 2024 — its highest rate since 1990 — driven by strong services and industry performance. Agriculture accounts for roughly 25% of GDP, with cotton the dominant export commodity alongside cashew nuts, palm products, and food crops. The Port of Cotonou is a critical regional trade hub serving landlocked neighbours, and the Glo-Djigbé Industrial Zone (GDIZ) anchors the government's industrial diversification strategy. Inflation was low at 1.2% in 2024 and the fiscal deficit narrowed to 3% of GDP, reflecting ongoing macroeconomic consolidation. Benin uses the West African CFA Franc (XOF) and is a member of the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU).

Benin-incorporated companies list on the regional BRVM exchange (headquartered in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire), which serves all eight WAEMU member states.

The BRVM maintains a national office (Antenne Nationale de Bourse) in Cotonou.
