Rwanda’s ranking has improved significantly between March and September 2013 in Euromoney’s Country Risk Survey, with the country climbing six places to reach 124th in the global table. Although still included in ECR Tier 5 – meaning investors should consider the country a high-risk investment destination – Rwanda’s scores in the survey categories for Monetary Policy/Currency Stability and Access to Capital Markets have both risen in the last six months, suggesting that economists believe the country is becoming more attractive to investors while enjoying greater macroeconomic stability than in previous years. Both scores appear to have been influenced by the successful launch of the country’s debut Eurobond in April.
