Abstract: This paper studies from a gravitational model, the determinants of trade and the impact of regional integration on the dynamics of bilateral trade between Cote d'Ivoire and Burkina Faso. The results show that: the friendship and cooperation treaty as a catalyst is a strategic tool for regional integration that has enabled the resumption and facilitation of bilateral trade between Cote d'Ivoire and Burkina Faso; The volume of trade between Cote d'Ivoire and Burkina Faso is increasing, but trade flows remain largely directed towards Western partners; geographical and structural factors influence intra-WAEMU trade.
