Good leadership has unleashed people's productive potential
- High Commissioner for Rwanda
"Good leadership has unleashed the people's productive potential"
said High Commissioner for Rwanda based in New Delhi Williams Nkurunziza
addressing the participants at the "Presentation on investing in Rwanda"
organized by the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce in association with the Sri
Lanka - Africa and the Middle East Business Council recently at the
Hotel Galadari, Colombo.
The Government of Rwanda attaches significant importance to the
tourism industry as it is a major growth sector of the economy and a
leading foreign exchange earner. Endowed with unique tourism assets such
as the world's largest population of the endangered mountain gorillas, a
third of Africa's bird species, a rainforest with over 1,000 animal
species including lakes, islands and volcanoes, the sector continues to
attract both tourists and private sector investors into Rwanda's young
hospitality industry.
Regarding investing in Rwanda, The Ambassador said, "The best
incentive Rwanda offers to investors is non-fiscal, pro-business
climate". Besides being safe and predictable, Rwanda has been hailed for
its culture of intolerance for corruption.
Many untapped investment opportunities are available for investors
such as infrastructure development, agriculture, energy, tourism, real
estates, construction, financial services and information and
communication technology and in addition, distribution and markets
especially super markets and cold chain infrastructure for export
products. |
