Full analysis: why Burundi ranks #135
Why Burundi ranks #135
Burundi scores 41.3 out of 100 and ranks #135 among 195 countries, between Togo above and Somalia below. This figure is the Bureau’s single read on national power, built from nine components.
Strengths
The strongest component is Sovereignty at 57.5: unemployment near 1.0% — work for whoever wants it; public debt under 48% of GDP — room to maneuver
Weaknesses
The weakest component is Reach at 8.0: a current-account deficit of $1 billion (28.9% of GDP) — living beyond its means; a median age of 18 — a nation of children, its workforce still in the classroom
Trajectory
Quarterly momentum reads 0. An uneventful quarter, recorded without embellishment: no breakthrough to celebrate, no setback to mourn. The Trajectory component itself scores 41.6. On the military board the country stands at 31.1, ranked #128. Head of government: Évariste Ndayishimiye (President).
