KIGALI (Reuters) -Rwanda’s economy is forecast to grow 7.1% this year and jump to 7.5% in 2026, Finance Minister Yusuf Murangwa said on Thursday.
The economy is expected to grow 7.4% in 2027 and 7.0% a year later, he told parliament. The economy grew 8.9% in 2024, according to the statistics office.
Murangwa, who is presenting a draft budget for 2025/26 (July-June), did not give a reason for the slowdown in growth.
Rwanda’s economy largely depends on agriculture, tourism and manufacturing.
