Togo’s economy recorded growth of 6.3% in 2025, according to the annual national accounts published in May by the National Institute of Statistics and Economic and Demographic Studies (INSEED). This performance significantly exceeded the projections of international financial institutions.

The services sector continued to drive the national economy, with added value estimated at CFA 3,403.8 billion and a volume growth rate of 7.0%. Transport and warehousing activities stood out with growth of 16.2%, while the information and communications sector expanded by 17.2%.

Trade also maintained strong momentum, growing by 9.9%, supported by domestic consumption and transit-related activities.

In the secondary sector, growth reached 7.5%, driven by outstanding performances in construction ( 16.9%) and the manufacturing of construction materials ( 27.4%). Meanwhile, extractive industries posted growth of 10.6%.

These results surpassed the expectations of multilateral partners. The World Bank had projected growth of 5.0%, while the International Monetary Fund (IMF) forecast 5.3%.
