Burundi

Payments, saving and borrowing

The digital-payment, saved and borrowed indicators are not collected in every round or for every economy: in the 2024 round they are reported for a subset of the economies that report account ownership.

Physical access points

From the IMF Financial Access Survey by way of the GFDD, which stops in 2021. Each figure is Burundi’s latest reported year, which is shown beside it and is not necessarily the same year as another economy’s. These are the published values, reproduced without adjustment; for at least one economy the published branch and ATM counts are not physically possible, which the methodology page documents.
