Regulatory Alert - National Bank of Rwanda (“BNR”) issues a new Directive on the use of foreign currency in Rwanda

Effective 17 September 2025, the National Bank of Rwanda has introduced a pivotal Directive that addresses gaps left by earlier regulations, particularly Regulation No. 89/2025, which had restricted foreign currency transactions and raised concerns among investors. The new framework expands automatic eligibility for key sectors, introduces a fast-track approval process, and provides a six-month transition window for existing FX-denominated contracts to be regularised. This marks a strategic shift toward a more balanced, transparent, and investor-friendly FX regime, reinforcing Rwanda’s competitiveness as a favourable investment destination.
