Share of World GDP: Burundi

Analysis# Burundi Share of World GDP Burundi's share of global GDP stands at 0.007% in 2026, representing a significant contraction from its 1981 peak of 0.013%. This 41.7% decline over the past 46 years reflects the country's limited economic scale relative to the global economy. Despite reaching its lowest point of 0.007% in 2004, Burundi has not recovered beyond that floor and remains at that baseline today. Since the early 2000s, Burundi's share has stagnated at 0.007% for two decades, with no meaningful growth through 2026. This plateau suggests structural economic constraints that have prevented the country from expanding its GDP faster than global growth. Projections extending to 2030 show no anticipated recovery, indicating that Burundi's share of world GDP will likely remain subdued absent significant economic transformation.
