Rwanda available for Download governance. Corruption is negligible. The crime rate is low. On the economic front, over the last decade, the Government has been firm in its economic stabilisation and recovery programmes. Among other things, Government has abolished export taxes, initiated tax regime reform, established an investment code; initiated rehabilitation of the banking sector; liberalised trade, currency and wage regimes; achieved full current account convertibility, entrenched property rights in the country's constitution; firmed up the independence of the Central Bank and launched the necessary restructuring and privatisation of public entities. The result of all these initiatives has been a buoyant economy with a GDP growth rate (at around 10%) described as one of the best on the continent over the last three years. The July 2003 UN Economic Report on Africa characterized Rwanda as one of the top three "Lion Cubs" alongside Mozambique and Uganda, on the basis of strong economic performance. Everything is being done to consolidate and expand on these economic gains. Experts believe this is possible because the economy is still virgin. Across all sectors, investment opportunities abound. In particular, investments are needed in value addition activities tapping into the country's agricultural, mining and tourism resources. By leveraging its strategic location, as the centre of a consumer market of nearly 50 million people, Rwanda is also working to become the Dubai of Central Africa. To achieve this, a Free Economic Processing Zone to house General Merchandise, Light and Heavy industry economic activities is at an advanced stage of implementation. We invite you to buy into this proposition. |
