KIGALI, Feb 8 (Reuters) - Rwanda's economy is forecast
to grow at a slightly slower pace this year before picking up
speed again in 2024 and 2025, Finance Minister Uzziel
Ndagijimana said on Wednesday.
Ndagijimana told parliament the economy was forecast to grow
6.2% in 2023 and around 7.5% in 2024 and 2025. The finance
ministry estimates the economy grew 6.8% in 2022.
He said overall spending for the 2022/23 fiscal year that
runs from July to June would rise by just over 2% to 4.76
trillion Rwandan francs ($4.42 billion) from the 4.66 trillion
Rwandan francs announced in June, when he first presented the
2022/23 budget.
