Overview

Real estate is a key sector and a potential driver of future economic growth. The Rwandan government is actively promoting real estate development as part of our Vision 2050 plan to have 70% of the population living in urban areas by 2050.

The sector contributes approximately 16% to Rwanda’s GDP. The sector has seen substantial growth due to urbanization, population growth, and increased demand for housing and commercial spaces.
Rwanda aims to have a formal housing sector sufficiently available and accessible to all segments of the population by 2050.
