The Chamber of Deputies has approved three loan agreements aimed at supporting the country’s energy sector, public finances, and inclusive economic growth.

The agreements were adopted during a plenary session and formalize financing arrangements between the Government of Rwanda and several international financial institutions.

The first agreement involves a €213.16 million loan between Rwanda, represented by the Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning, and a consortium led by Standard Chartered in partnership with Société Générale.

The financing is backed by the International Development Association.

The funds will support the national budget and policies aimed at promoting inclusive and sustainable job creation. The agreement was signed in Kigali on April 9, 2026.

Lawmakers also approved a ¥14.8 billion loan agreement between Rwanda and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank. The financing is intended to support the energy sector through results-based programs. The agreement was signed on March 25, 2026.

A third agreement, also approved, provides ¥15.386 billion in financing from the International Development Association.

The funds will support policies aimed at promoting inclusive and sustainable employment. It was signed in Kigali on April 8, 2026.

The approvals reflect Rwanda’s continued efforts to secure external financing to support development priorities, particularly in energy and job creation.
