The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has announced that Burundi's economy is expected to grow by 4.3% in 2024, a notable increase from the 2.7% growth in 2023. This improved outlook is attributed to better performance in the agricultural sector, which plays a crucial role in the country's economy, particularly through revenues from tea and coffee.In a statement released on Monday, the IMF noted that the projected growth is supported by robust agricultural production, productive investment and ongoing reforms. Fuel shortages hampered economic activity in 2023, and the country is recovering from years of conflict and political instability. The IMF highlighted that at the end of last year, Burundi's foreign exchange reserves stood at $96.4 million, equivalent to 0.8 months of import cover, with the country later experiencing some relief.

Africa as a whole has one of the highest economic growth rates in the world. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), seven of the projected top ten best-performing countries in 2024 are African, six of them from the sub-Saharan part of the continent.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has announced that
Burundi's economy is expected to grow by 4.3% in 2024, a notable increase from the 2.7% growth in 2023.
This improved outlook is attributed to better performance in the agricultural sector, which plays a crucial role in the country's economy, particularly through revenues from tea and coffee.
In a statement released on Monday, the IMF noted that the projected growth is supported by robust agricultural production, productive investment and ongoing reforms.
Fuel shortages hampered economic activity in 2023, and the country is recovering from years of conflict and
political instability.
The IMF highlighted that at the end of last year,
Burundi's foreign exchange reserves stood at $96.4 million, equivalent to 0.8 months of import cover, with the country later experiencing some relief.
