		Burundi is looking to a brighter future as it works toward securing macroeconomic stability and implementing structural reforms to boost economic growth and reduce poverty, according to a new study by the International Monetary Fond (IMF) about the war-ravaged country.

		Most of the relief will be for debts Burundi owes to the World Bank's no-interest lending arm, the International Development Association.
		However Carstens warned: "Burundi's external debt situation will remain difficult even after HIPC debt relief, and strong economic policies, prudent debt management, and continued donor support on highly concessional terms will be needed to ensure a sustainable external debt in the medium term."
