The first Social Sector Budget Brief was launched today in collaboration with @unicefrw. The Brief analyses public spending in education, health, social protection, and water, sanitation and hygiene, sectors key to human capital development, inclusive growth, and the well-being of children and their families.

It aims to strengthen commitment to child-sensitive planning and budgeting and to ensure that public resources respond effectively to the needs and rights of children.

At #ICII2026, Steven Biganiro, Director General of Capital Markets and Investment Schemes, joined a panel discussion on lessons regulators and markets have learned from regulatory sandboxes. He highlighted the importance of coordinated policies, stakeholder engagement and flexible regulatory frameworks that support new solutions while responding to Rwanda’s market needs.

He emphasised that successful innovation requires approaches tailored to local contexts rather than simply replicating models from other markets.

"Africa is underinsured. Insurance penetration in Africa stands at 2.7 percent against a global average of 7 percent. That gap represents hundreds of millions of people who, when disaster strikes, have nothing between them and destitution.

For the insurance industry to thrive, governments need to create an enabling environment, align regulation, and champion financial inclusion.

However, product innovation, distribution, reach, and reinsurance capacity are for the industry to build."

— Minister Yusuf Murangwa, during his keynote address at the ZEP-RE Annual Meetings, Kigali.

[Ministry of Finance & Economic Planning @RwandaFinance]

The 2026 Annual Meeting of @ZEPRE_PTAReins is officially underway in Kigali.
