Overview
Burundi's gdp ppp stood at $14.3B in 2025, a decline of +$2.5B from 2024. The IMF projects $14.3B by 2025. Burundi ranked 153rd globally.
Burundi’s gross domestic product measured at purchasing power parity reached US$14,314,000,000.00 in 2025, placing the nation 153rd in the world and keeping it just below peers such as Bhutan (US$14,096,000,000.00) and Suriname (US$14,654,000,000.00). The economy has expanded from an all‑time low of US$1,535,000,000.00 in 1980 to an all‑time high of US$16,786,357,120.29 in 2024, reflecting a more than tenfold increase over 44 years. This long‑term growth trajectory has been driven by modest improvements in agricultural productivity, limited diversification into services, and incremental foreign aid inflows, while persistent political instability and infrastructural deficits have constrained faster expansion. The recent dip from the 2024 peak suggests that external shocks, such as commodity price volatility or regional conflict, can quickly reverse gains. Continued investment in human capital, renewable energy, and regional trade integration will be crucial for sustaining upward momentum and narrowing the gap with comparable low‑income economies.
