Summary

Despite a challenging external environment, Rwanda's economy grew by 8.9 percent in 2024, driven by robust performances in services, construction, and food crop production. Inflation stabilized within the central bank’s target range, underpinned by a combination of tight monetary policy and favorable food prices. Looking ahead, implementing priorities under the Government’s Second National Transformation Strategy will require significant financing, including for key investment projects such as the second phase of construction of the New Kigali International Airport and the expansion of RwandAir. The authorities remain firmly committed to advancing their ambitious structural reform agenda, supported by the Policy Coordination Instrument (PCI).
