Business policy in the third term of the Burundian government

It is almost two months since the Burundian government started its third term in power, and in that time it has undertaken various reforms of business policy in the country, or said that it plans to undertake them.  They are a mixed bag: some are pro-market, while others are interventionist.  The tone seems to lean to the former.  The plans and policies include:

• Removal of a charge on tax registration
• Relocation of the organisation that registers traders ("in order to improve the business climate")
• Control of access to foreign currency by companies
• Stating that it would be beneficial to remove intermediaries between agricultural producers and consumers
• Stating that agricultural reform is needed, through irrigation technology, and distribution of fertilizer and seeds
• Stating the aim of attracting industrial producers and private investors generally
• Stating a commitment to education
