Rwanda is ripening up very fast for business. I am interested to know if there is OTC in Rwanda, and especially for the companies lined up for listing at RSE in the near future. This is a market to watch from within, not without! Read on...

According to African Alliance Securities, ”political risk insurance and trade credit insurance will play a major role in Rwanda’s strategy to become a middle income country by 2020. Coupled with the country’s aggressive business reforms, this specialty insurance is expected to increase Rwanda’s already impressive FDI and export volumes.” Said reforms have been robust and the overall operating environment transparent enough that Nairobi-based ATIA, the continent’s only multilateral political-and credit-risk insurer, plans to make Kigali one of three new office destinations in 2011 as it expects to boost premium income between 30-50 percent. To that end, the World Bank recognized Rwanda last fall as the “second most improved business reformer over the past five years,” while ranking it 58th in its 2011 Doing Business Rankings, an accolade that should bode well if it’s to realize the IMF’s lofty growth projections of 8% annual growth within three years. As far as share trading, the country’s exchange (RSE) opened Jan. 31 and was christened by the IPO of Heineken’s Rwandan unit known as Bralirwa which generated USD$80m against $29.5m projected for the 25% of government shares that were offered and joined Kenya Commercial Bank and Kenya’s Nation Media Group as the only other listed companies. According to African Alliance, “currently seven credible regional and local brokers are registered and more are likely to come into the market as RSE gains momentum with more listings both locally and regionally.” Banque de Kigali, for instance, the country’s largest bank by assets is floating a 25 percent stake in an on going IPO. Other impending listings, as per analysts, include shares of cement-maker Ciments du Rwanda Ltd, Rwanda Commercial Bank and the government’s sale of its 10 percent stake in mobile operator MTN Rwanda as well as its 20 percent stake in the country’s biggest insurer, Sonarwa (Societe Nouvelle d’Assurance du Rwanda) in which Nigerian firm IGI owns a 35 percent stake.

true Rwanda has a great future, I am however skeptical of those saying it ll surpass its neighbours. With a landlocked country and a small population, there s only so much you can do

which is best website to follow news for Rwanda, the only paper i find online in English is a joke aka News Times of Rwanda

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.

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.

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

Kagame might be a great leader...but will be the person who takes over from him be the same? Thats where Rw will make it or break it?

Rwanda's total installed electricity generation capacity stands @ 75MW. What r u guys talking about
