Murangwa added in a budget speech that growth was expected to rise to 7.5% in 2026.

Rwanda’s economy has shown resilience in the face of global uncertainties, including the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and external shocks such as climate-related disruptions and regional instability. The government has prioritised investment in human capital, social protection, and private sector development as part of its strategy to sustain growth.

In the 2025/26 fiscal year, the government plans to increase spending on health, education and infrastructure, supported by domestic revenue mobilisation and concessional borrowing. Inflation is expected to remain within the National Bank of Rwanda’s target range, helping to maintain macroeconomic stability.
