An International Monetary Fund (IMF) team, led by Alexandre Chailloux, visited Burundi from March 17 to March 28 as part of the 2025 Article IV annual consultation. The team held discussions with Burundian authorities and other stakeholders from both the public and private sectors.
"Discussions focused on policies to ensure macroeconomic stability, and the structural reform agenda needed to durably buttress growth, entrench debt sustainability, strengthen financial sector stability, reduce poverty and reinforce resilience to climate-related risks," the IMF stated.
The IMF mission team expressed gratitude to the Burundian authorities and other interlocutors for their candid discussions and hospitality during the mission.
