Barigye was among senior state officials appointed on Thursday as President Kagame unveiled a new Cabinet to steer government operations under his leadership and that of the new Prime Minister.

Barigye will now deputise Governor Soraya Hakuziyaremye, who assumed leadership of the central bank earlier this year. His expertise will be crucial as Rwanda intensifies efforts to maintain macroeconomic stability, deepen financial inclusion, and advance digital financial infrastructure.

Barigye's appointment comes just days after he was named Group Chief Executive Officer of Crystal Ventures Ltd (CVL), a leading investment company and the largest private-sector employer in Rwanda.

He briefly stepped into the new role after more than five years at the helm of the Kigali International Financial Centre (KIFC), where he successfully led efforts to position Rwanda as a Pan-African financial hub.

Under his stewardship, KIFC gained global recognition and attracted strategic international partnerships and investments that bolstered Rwanda's financial ecosystem.

He also previously served as a senior executive at Crystal Ventures Ltd from 2008 to 2014.

In the new state appointments announced on Thursday, four new faces, including two ministers and two state ministers, were appointed to the government.

Dominique Habimana has been appointed Minister of Local Government, while Dr. Bernadette Arakwiye takes on the role of Minister of Environment. Both are joining the Cabinet for the first time.

On the side of state ministers, Dr. Telesphore Ndabamenye has been named State Minister for Agriculture and Livestock, and Jean de Dieu Uwihanganye becomes State Minister for Infrastructure.
