KIGALI, RWANDA – Rwanda’s stock exchange closed 2025 with higher turnover and broader participation, underscoring growing investor confidence and the maturation of one of East Africa’s smaller but increasingly innovative capital markets.

The Rwanda Stock Exchange (RSE) said market turnover reached $3.4bn in 2025, up from $2.9bn a year earlier, driven by regulatory improvements and sustained demand across equities, bonds and over-the-counter markets.
