Burundi: Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper: Annual Progress Report: Joint Staff Advisory Note

International Monetary Fund

No 2009/091, IMF Staff Country Reports from International Monetary Fund

Abstract: This Joint Staff Advisory Note focuses on the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper–Annual Progress Report (APR) for Burundi. Slow implementation of structural reforms, a sharp decline in coffee production, and the unstable security situation are largely responsible for lower-than-expected economic growth. Poor weather conditions and rising international petroleum and food prices are the main factors behind the faster-than-expected increase in domestic consumer prices. The APR also discusses the issue of regional economic integration, which is one of the elements that will shape medium-term economic developments in Burundi.
