Rwanda has unveiled an ambitious five-year FinTech strategy (2024-2029) aimed at positioning the country as a regional hub for financial services while advancing financial inclusion. The plan seeks to strengthen Rwanda’s FinTech ecosystem by leveraging technology to drive economic growth and socio-economic transformation.
Rooted in Vision 2050 and aligned with the National Strategy for Transformation, the strategy focuses on two key goals: establishing Rwanda as a launchpad for local and global FinTechs, and promoting digital financial inclusion to reduce economic disparity. It also supports the nation’s move toward a cashless society by encouraging digital payments, in line with the National Payment System Strategy.
By creating a supportive environment for innovation and reducing barriers, Rwanda aims to attract investment and become a leader in Africa’s financial landscape, driving transformative growth across key sectors.
