The acceleration of demand is driven by the hydrocarbon, gas, and derivative products segment, with revenue rising to 139 million FCFA, a 30% increase over one year. The supply of light fuels managed by Neptune Oil increased to 160,358 cubic meters (+26.6%), favored by improved land logistics flows, while deliveries of heavy products fell to 222 tons from 545 tons previously.

In other branches of activity, vehicle sales and ancillary services generated 8.7 million FCFA (+5%), construction materials and household equipment reached 12.9 million FCFA (+1%), and the pharmaceutical sector recorded 6.6 million FCFA (+0.1%). This dynamism is part of a 3.1% real gross domestic product growth in 2025, coupled with a shift in the trade balance to a surplus of 12.8 billion FCFA, driven by gold exports.

The increase in distributed fuel volumes is fueling the operation of production units and urban transportation. The revenue generated by the organization of international meetings in the capital is strengthening the treasury of local service providers. The improvement in the trade balance is providing a welcome respite for the state's foreign exchange reserves.

The consolidation of merchandise flows is stimulating recruitment in logistics and retail trade. The maintenance of pharmaceutical product consumption is ensuring minimal coverage of essential health needs. The increase in import revenue is consolidating customs tax collection at the border.
