STORYLINE:
The IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva visited Rwanda this week, and met with President Kagame and his senior officials to discuss the country’s economic outlook.
On Tuesday (24 Jan), Georgieva arrived in Kigali, Rwanda where she met with President Kagame, Prime Minister Edouard Ngirente, Minister of Finance Uzziel Ndagijimana, and Central Bank governor John Rwangombwa to discuss the country’s economic outlook, Rwanda’s ongoing efforts to build climate resilience, and how the IMF can support these efforts, especially through the recently approved IMF supported program for Rwanda under the Resilience and Sustainability Facility for $319 million.
On Wednesday (25 Jan), the IMF Managing Director held a roundtable in Kigali, Rwanda with Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors from the East African Community to discuss the challenges they face on the heels of the COVID-19 pandemic, the economic fallout from Russia’s war in Ukraine, the cost-of-living crisis, and climate change.
The discussion focused more specifically on the challenges the East Africa region is facing on climate change and how the IMF could support its East African members mobilize climate finance through the Resilience and Sustainability Facility, a new facility to help vulnerable low- and middle-income countries address longer-term structural changes such as climate change and pandemic preparedness.
The IMF has provided more than $50billion to the region since the beginning of the pandemic and currently has 22 financing programs in Sub Saharan Africa.
