Political and economic background. Small and landlocked, Rwanda is a low- income country, with a densely packed population of about 12.5 million people1 who are mostly under 20-year old, and a total land area of 26,338 km2 of which 68.7 per cent is classified as arable agriculture land. From a tragically low starting point in 1994, Rwanda has enjoyed political stability in the last two decades which, combined with good governance and policy consistency, has created an enabling policy environment ensuring successful delivery of development programs. Since the turn of the century, Rwanda’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita has increased from US$242 to US$729, and poverty has been reduced from 60.3 per cent to 39.1 per cent of the population. 2. Rwanda’s growth in 2016 and early 2017, while below historical standards, remained robust relative to the region, with 2017 growth estimated at 5.2 per cent. Consumer price inflation has continued to decline since February 2017, reflecting improving food supply conditions and declining transport costs. Performance under the PSI-supported program (Policy Support Instrument) and Standby Credit Facility arrangement remained strong, with most quantitative targets and structural reform benchmarks being met. In the most recent debt sustainability analysis by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Rwanda is assessed to be at low risk of debt distress. Rwanda’s external debt portfolio remains mostly constituted of concessional loans2, and this is expected to continue being the main source of funding for public projects going forward. 3.
