Description: GDP growth for Burundi accelerated to 4.0 percent in 2022 from 3.1 percent in 2021 following a recovery from 0.3 percent contraction in 2020, which was largely attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic. The growth in 2022 was driven by investment in public infrastructure projects. Growth is projected to rise to 4.5 percent in 2023 and 4.6 percent in 2024, driven by public investment in the transport and energy sectors.
