Benin’s economy has been on a strong growth trajectory, with our estimates suggesting growth reached 6.5% last year. Infrastructure investment, industrialisation, and agricultural development have sustained high growth since the start of the decade. Investor confidence is increasing, as evidenced by Benin's successful $500m Eurobond sale in January 2025. Meanwhile, price pressures remain moderate, and fiscal consolidation efforts are yielding positive results. That said, challenges persist, including climate risks, regional instability, and an overreliance on cotton exports. Looking ahead, growth should remain above 6% this year, supported by the expansion of the Port of Cotonou, agro-industrial projects, and improved business conditions.
