Burundi
- The economy is expected to record moderate growth in 2012 and 2013.
- Structural reforms and the fight against poverty are hampered by the inadequacies of the country’s institutions and political instability.
- The high rate of youth unemployment is a major challenge which Burundi has to confront.
Le Burundi se relève progressivement d’une crise socio-politique profonde, qui a détruit le tissu productif de son économie. L’économie reste encore fragile, du fait de sa forte dépendance au secteur primaire en termes de contribution au PIB (40 %). Le PIB par habitant s’élevait à 215 dollars EU en 2012, contre 286 dollars EU avant la crise de 1993.
