At @AFSICafrica 2026 in London, Team Rwanda showcased Rwanda’s investment opportunities through the Rwanda Country Summit, convened by @Kigali_IFC, @RDBrwanda and @RSSB_Rwanda, under the theme “Investing in Rwanda: Where Innovation, Inclusion and Capital Meet.”
In his remarks, H.E. @BusingyeJohns, Rwanda’s High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, highlighted the country’s investment potential and opportunities for stronger international partnerships.
Institutional investors and fund managers domiciled under KIFC (@RSSB_Rwanda , @wariobaventures, @RugoriNetwork ) came together for a panel discussion to explore how capital can reach businesses with growth potential.
The conversation highlighted that Rwanda has incredible investment opportunities, but unlocking them requires investment-ready businesses with strong governance, reliable financial information and scalable models. Bridging financing gaps calls for partnerships between international investors, domestic institutions, fund managers and local businesses.
KIFC and RDB support market entry and investment structuring, while RSSB is open to credible co-investment opportunities. Opportunities span agriculture, healthcare, education and financial services, with Rwanda serving as a gateway to wider African markets.
The summit also promoted the Inclusive FinTech Forum (#IFF2027), which will take place in Kigali on 16–18 March 2027 and continue to connect African and global stakeholders around innovation and inclusive finance.

Today at #IFF2026, the National Bank of #Rwanda and the Central Bank of #Kenya (@CBKKenya) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to launch a License Passporting Framework, enabling licensed Payment Service Providers to operate seamlessly across both markets.
A major step toward stronger competition, greater innovation, and faster cross-border digital financial services under robust regulatory oversight.

Haytham ElMaayergi, Executive Vice President of @afreximbank, shared three powerful messages during his Special Remarks on financing Africa's digital and economic transformation today. 🏦
"First, digital is the new physical - in the 21st century, a digital payment rail is as essential as a paved road. Without it, trade stands still. Second, integration is non-negotiable. We must move from digital islands to digital continents. No one country can do this alone. Third, the path to pilot projects is over."
Mr. ElMaayergi addressed the critical intersection of capital and technology. He explored how strategic financing, from Advisory and Capital Markets to Digital Banking, is the essential fuel needed to move beyond "digital islands" and build a unified economic continent.

Digital Transformation and Private Investment: Building the Foundations of Africa's Next Economic Era
The Global Leadership Dialogue just wrapped up a deep dive into how we finance and govern Africa's next economic era. The panel moved past the "why" of digital transformation to focus on building the foundations for long-term resilience.
Moderated by Lerato Mbele (Social Alchemists), the session reframed digital tools - identity systems, payments, data governance - as essential public infrastructure, as vital as any paved road.

At #IFF2026, Rt. Hon. @Dr_JNsengiyumva outlined a bold vision for Africa’s financial future. He highlighted the mission of building inclusive systems that leave no one behind.
He warned that Africa cannot build financial systems on rails it does not control, emphasizing that frameworks like the AFCFTA Digital Protocol, the Pan-African Payment and Settlement System, and AU data governance are essential foundations for the continent’s economic independence and must be implemented urgently.

Stablecoins are reshaping global finance – with the US dollar at the helm. Without a strategic response, European monetary sovereignty and financial stability could erode. However, in this disruption there is also an opportunity for the euro to emerge stronger.
