RWANDA: A Strategic Investment Destination

WHY RWANDA? , KIGALI?

Rwanda stands as one of Africa's most rapidly growing economies, boasting an impressive 10-year average growth rate of 8.6%. Notably, the World Bank recognized Rwanda's economy as one of the top 5 most resilient in Africa in its 2017 Africa Pulse Report. Rwanda, especially its capital city Kigali, has earned global recognition for its modernity, innovation, and safety—making it an ideal destination for both business and living. This reputation is underpinned by a commitment to the rule of law, transparency, and a vibrant, bilingual, and dynamic professional workforce.

Rwanda has set ambitious goals, aspiring to become the financial hub of the region. To realize this vision, it has recently established the Kigali International Financial Centre (KIFC). KIFC's primary objective is to position Rwanda as a preferred financial jurisdiction for investments into Africa. To entice investors, KIFC offers a wide array of benefits, including the absence of Foreign exchange controls, no restrictions on foreign ownership or assets, full repatriation of profits, and attractive tax incentives for investors who choose to structure their investments through KIFC.

Depending on eligibility and compliance with specific requirements, investors operating within KIFC enjoy a preferential corporate income tax rate and exemption from withholding tax on dividends, interests, and royalty payments.

DTOS' PRESENCE IN RWANDA? , KIGALI?

With over three decades of expertise in establishing Collective Investment Schemes and various Corporate Investment Vehicles such as SPVs, Foundation and Trusts, DTOS possesses the requisite skills and competencies to facilitate the establishment of such vehicles in Rwanda. The inauguration of our regional office in Kigali has significantly expanded the horizons for investors. It provides them with the option to operate within a complementary jurisdiction and select from a wider array of investment vehicles. This, in turn, empowers investors to optimize their advantages when engaging in cross-border investments across the African continent.
