Rwanda: Investment Climate Statement 2015

By U.S. Department of State

The Government of Rwanda (GoR) understands that private sector development is critical if Rwanda is to achieve its aim of reaching middle-income status by 2020, and reducing the country's reliance on foreign aid. Over the past decade, the GoR has undertaken a series of pro-investment policy reforms intended to improve the investment climate, expand trade in products and services, and increase levels of foreign direct investment.Rwanda enjoys strong economic growth-which averaged 7 percent annually from 2010 to 2014-high rankings in the World Bank's Doing Business report (#46 out of 189 countries in 2015, third best in Africa behind Mauritius and South Africa), and a reputation for low corruption. The country presents a number of opportunities for U.S. and foreign direct investment, including in clean and renewable energy, infrastructure, agriculture, tourism, mining, and information and communications technology.
