The European Investment Bank (EIB) and Bank of Kigali have sealed their largest ever venture that will avail Rwf 60billion for the Rwandan lender to finance investments across the country.

In the deal signed today on the sidelines of the ongoing two-day Africa CEO Forum in Kigali, the EIB will provide a Rwf 30billion credit line for BanK of Kigali, a member of BK Group Plc.

The new financing from the EIB will be matched by Bank of Kigali and unlock a total of RWF 60 billion of new private sector investment across Rwanda.

Ambroise Fayolle, Vice President of the European Investment Bank said, “Accelerating private sector investment is crucial to create jobs, unlock opportunities and enable businesses to succeed…”

  3. Hello! I know this is sort of off-topic but I had to ask. Does building
    a well-established blog like yours take a lot of work?
    I’m completely new to writing a blog however
    I do write in my diary on a daily basis. I’d like to
    start a blog so I will be able to share my personal experience and thoughts online.
    Please let me know if you have any suggestions or tips for new
    aspiring blog owners. Thankyou!
