Burundi: The government is preparing to allow imports of cement into the country for a designated period in an effort to tackle rising prices. The cabinet announced the plan following a difference being recorded between reference prices and the actual market price, according to the East African newspaper. The measures will also allow for sugar imports. Local cement producer Burundi Cement Company (BUCECO) has called for the government to start a price review first before relaxing import rules. It wants to increase its prices due to growing raw material and transport costs.
