Even if Rwanda's GDP doesn't grow to the levels of its neighbours, the good governance means the quality of life (& per capita income will rapidly improve vs its neighbours.

As an investor that is important. I am a small investor not a Warren Buffett who needs deals worth many Billions of $$$ to invest. I don't even have KShs 1bn!(Though I did way more than 1bn Zim$)

So what difference does it make to me if the GDP will remain 'small'?
BTW, look at Singapore vs Malaysia!

I have no doubt that Rwanda's GDP will continue to grow and that its citizens will play a big part in the rebuilding of Congo when the dust finally settles there. I am also a small time investor too and I have recently taken great interest at the RSE.

I was on a tangent on comparing it with its neighbours, I meant it ll ll not 'grab' big business from its neighbours from Kenya and co. as some people have claimed its going to be the next regional hub.

Rwanda can be the hub they want it to be. Financial Hubs need clean courts (not like Kenya, Uganda or Tanzania) & good communications infrastructure (which Rwanda is building)...

As for airports... Kigali has a better airport than Nairobi!!! Smaller but much better. And the runway lights work!

The just to be concluded bank de kigali ipo will be a litmus test for this market. I am planning to relocate there (bourse-wise) for a year and come back to the NSE to make money.

You cannot say ‘better but smaller‘ what will you be comparing then? JKIA beats theirs by far- flight numbers, size, passangers, standards, prestige, opportinity e.t.c

Look at it this way, with clean courts, mimimum manufacturing, small population, landlocked (unlike singapore) and serious competition form Kenya that is cleaning its act and a Uganda that is pulling a Ghana in the east I dont see how Rwanda will pull ahead of its neighbours.

Having said that I believe as their population becomes more educated they will play a big part in the development of Eastern congo but I dont believe they ll beat Kenya or SA as Africa's financial hub, not in my lifetime at least

Erm, I said smaller but better not ‘better but smaller‘ [lost in translation?]
