In the coming months, the Transitional Legislative Assembly will review the 2025 budget implementation law, marking the final stage of the budget adoption process. The government has indicated that achieving its goals will require strengthened revenue mobilisation through bold fiscal reforms.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on the budget, Burkinab\u00e8 economist \u00c9tienne Lankoand\u00e9 said; \u201cThis increase reflects the government\u2019s commitment to social and economic development.
