As Rwanda continues to strengthen its industrial base, the National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda (NISR) announced that the country's industrial output saw a significant increase of 5.7% in December 2024, compared to the same period in 2023. This growth reflects the nation's ongoing efforts to enhance its industrial sector and accelerate economic transformation.
The rise in industrial output is attributed to robust performances across key sectors, including manufacturing, mining, and construction, which have all contributed to Rwanda's growing industrial base. Strategic investments in infrastructure, along with the government's supportive policies and initiatives, have played an integral role in fostering this growth.
As part of its commitment to transparency and data-driven decision-making, NISR continues to track and provide updates on the country's industrial performance. The Index of Industrial Production (IIP) offers valuable insights into the various sectors driving this expansion and we invite you to explore the detailed breakdown of these sectors through the link below https://www.statistics.gov.rw/publication/index-industrial-production-december-2024
With this positive trend, the nation is well on track to meet its long-term economic goals and establish itself as a key player in the region's industrial landscape. The government’s focus on industrialization and its commitment to creating a conducive business environment are expected to further fuel growth in the coming years.
The positive results in 2024 set the stage for an even more promising outlook for Rwanda's industrial sector in 2025, as the country remains on course to meet its vision of becoming a regional industrial hub.
