1 Burkina Faso A. Definitions and sources of data The Investment Code of 1995 (Loi n 62/95/ADP du 14 Décembre 1995) of Burkina Faso provides a general definition of investment without specific concept of foreign direct investment (FDI). The Banque Centrale des États de l'afrique de l'ouest (BCEAO) provided the data on FDI in Burkina Faso. The International Monetary Fund also provides FDI data on the country in its balance-of-payments statistics. The Investment Code guarantees equal treatment of foreign investors. The Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Mines approves new foreign investments, based on the recommendations of the National Investment Commission. The commission's principal criterion is the investment's direct value added. The 1992 investment code established three incentive schedules. Schedule 'A' is for investments of less than FCFA 200 million and provides a company with an exemption from most taxes for the first five years of its existence. A tax credit is granted for the ensuing five-year period. Furthermore, companies in schedule "A" are permitted to stagger payment of Burkina Faso's registration tax over a fouryear period. The registration tax is equal to 3 per cent of the total capital invested. Schedule "B" is for investment over FCFA 200 million and provides a company with an eight-year tax exemption from most Burkinabe taxes. It also enables a company to spread the payment of the registration tax over a five-year period. In addition, all schedule "A" and "B" investments outside the country's two major cities Ouagadougou and Bobo-dioulassou receive the above benefits for five extra years. Schedule "'C' only applies to export companies and provides a permanent exemption from all Burkinabe taxes. In 2005, Burkina Faso halved the fee for registering new contracts and commercial agreements, and reduced the import tax on basic goods from 2% to 1% for formal-sector businesses. Burkina Faso is a member of several regional and international organizations and has fostered international investment agreements with both developing and developed countries. For instance, Burkina Faso is a member of the West African Monetary and Economic Union, BCEAO, Economic Community of West African States, New Partnership for Africa's Development and the African Union. It has a cooperation treaty with France, a trade, investment protection and technical cooperation agreement with Switzerland and subscribes to the Lomé Convention. Burkina Faso is a member of the World Intellectual Property Organization and eligible for the African Growth and Opportunity Act as well as the European Union's Everything But Arms market access initiative. Burkina Faso is a member of the World Trade Organization. Posting date: November 2006
