Foreign & diaspora investors
Rwanda is the most open of the four markets. Foreign and diaspora investors can buy government securities and listed shares on the same terms as locals, there is no foreign-ownership cap and no exchange controls, and the Investment Code guarantees full repatriation of capital and profits. You can fund in Rwandan francs or wire USD or EUR to your broker. Each guide above spells out the steps, tax and repatriation rules for that asset.
Hold a few of these? See them as one number.
