IMF approves $250 million credit facility for Rwanda

The International Monetary Fund on Monday said its executive board approved Rwanda's request for a new $250 million, 38-month extended credit facility to help it deal with tighter global financial conditions, while protecting social and development spending. The global lender said in a statement its board approved the new facility and authorized an immediate disbursement of $35.7 million.



Rwanda’s economic growth far surpassed expectations to reach 9.4% in 2025, but the war in the Middle East was expected to slow growth to below 6.8% in 2026.
