Since 2000, Rwanda has stood out for its macroeconomic stability. Economic growth in the small east African country has averaged about 8%. Inflation has tended to be far below the regional average.
Maintaining that situation is a priority for John Rwangombwa, governor of the National Bank of Rwanda (NBR), the country's central bank. Inflation has steadily fallen in the past two years, dropping from 8% in mid-2012 to 1.4% in June. Mr Rwangombwa thinks it will rise by the end of the year, but only to about 3%.
