Annual Economic Brief 2025 Rwanda’s Macroeconomic Performance and Structural Transformation
March 31, 2026
Rwanda’s economy recorded strong and broad-based growth in 2025, achieving an annual GDP growth rate of 9.4%, driven mainly by domestic demand, public investment, and sectoral productivity improvements. The services sector remained dominant, contributing over half of GDP, while industry expanded significantly through construction, manufacturing, and mining. Agriculture also recovered, supporting food supply and exports.
Inflation stayed within the target range despite external pressures such as declining exports and global market volatility. However, challenges persist, including reliance on imports and export concentration. Sustaining growth will require export diversification, private-sector development, and continued structural reforms aligned with Vision 2050
