dropping to a plateau in east, some plains.
Burundi is a landlocked country.

65 years and over: 2.5% Life expectancy: total population: 58.29

highest in the world!)

Burundi is a landlocked, resource-poor country with an underdeveloped manufacturing sector. The economy is predominantly agricultural which accounts for about 35% of GDP and employs more than 90% of the population. Burundi's primary exports are coffee and tea, which account for 90% of foreign exchange earnings, though exports are a relatively small share of GDP. Burundi's export earning - and its ability to pay for imports - rests primarily on weather conditions and international coffee and tea prices
GDP: $3.247 billion GDP exchange rate: $1.427 billion GDP growth rate: 3.2% GDP per capita is $300 GDP composition: agriculture: 33.3%,
industry: 21%, services: 45.8% Unemployment: NA% Inflation: 14.1%
Income distribution: lowest 10%: 4.1%, highest 10%: 28%
Exports: $79 million Imports: $318 million Net exports value is extremely low as you
can see.
My proposal for helping Burundi grow economically is improving infrastructure. With this improvement in infrastructure a lot more people in Burundi will be able to get around and spend more money which will increase the consumption value and increase GDP. With a small loan Burundi will be able to create roads and perhaps open up a bus transit which will help people get around and spend more money.
ProposalProposal With a $700,000,000 loan we can make this
improvement in infrastructure happen. As far as estimates for revenue lets say that 20% of the people in Burundi are now able to move around and consume more. Lets say they spend about $100 more than usual. 20% of 9,863,117 is 1,972,623 times 100 is $197,262,300 which all goes to GDP with a gradual amount of money being paid back to the loaner in a couple of years we can see great improvement in GDP. We can also see increases in exports which could increase the net exports value.
