Productive investments in the Francophone world tripled between 2020 and 2025, rising from $96 billion to $301 billion. For the first time, the 53 full member states of the International Organisation of La Francophonie (OIF) have thus surpassed the Commonwealth countries, which total $289 billion. According to the 2026 Francophonie Economic Barometer, this growth is accompanied by 212,000 new jobs announced in major industrial and energy projects.
