## Resource

Burundi’s parliament just approved a massive 30% budget boost to 7.02 trillion francs, fueled by booming mining exports and plans for economic diversification. Despite initial proposals, lawmakers pushed for higher spending amid projected 5.5% growth, driven by expanded agriculture and rising mineral output. To combat fuel shortages worsened by global conflicts, the government is also slashing import taxes on electric and hybrid vehicles — a bold move to ease energy strain and future-proof the economy.
