Burkina Faso
Burkina Faso, a West African nation, is identified internationally by the ISO 3166-1 codes BF (alpha-2) and BFA (alpha-3), with the country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) .bf reserved for local web entities. To reach a Burkinabé number from abroad, callers must dial +226, the nation's international calling code. The West African CFA franc (XOF) is the official currency, shared with regional partners. These identifiers serve critical practical functions: businesses rely on ISO codes for trade documentation and logistics, +226 for telecommunications routing, .bf for domain registration and local online presence, and XOF for financial transactions, invoicing, and banking operations across Burkina Faso.
