National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda has announced that Rwanda’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) reached RWF 23,387 billion in 2025, rising from RWF 19,918 billion recorded in 2024.

The increase reflects a 9.4% economic growth rate, highlighting the country’s continued economic expansion.

The growth was recorded steadily throughout the year, with different quarters showing varying levels of economic performance.

In the first quarter of 2025, the economy grew by 6.5%, followed by 7.8% growth in the second quarter.

Economic momentum strengthened further in the third quarter with growth reaching 11.8%, while the fourth quarter closed the year with a growth rate of 11.2%.

Several sectors played a significant role in driving this growth.

The services sector remained the largest contributor to the national economy, accounting for 52% of the total GDP.

This sector includes activities such as trade, transportation, tourism, financial services, and communications, which continue to expand alongside Rwanda’s urban and technological development.

The industrial sector contributed 22% of the GDP, reflecting progress in manufacturing, construction, and mining activities.

Meanwhile, agriculture, which remains a key pillar of Rwanda’s economy and employment, contributed 20% of the total GDP.

Other smaller sectors collectively accounted for the remaining 5% of the national economic output.

The strong performance of these sectors demonstrates Rwanda’s ongoing efforts to diversify its economy while strengthening productivity across key industries.

With sustained growth in services, industry, and agriculture, the country continues to position itself as one of the fastest-growing economies in the region.
