The central bank announced on Monday that the offering will run from December 15 to December 17, 2025, giving investors an opportunity to participate in a competitive bidding process.
The bonds, which will mature in 2040, offer investors regular interest payments throughout their term. The minimum investment is Frw 100,000, while individual investors can place bids of up to Frw 50 million. Successful bidders will be notified via email by 5:00 PM on December 17, 2025.
Investors who wish to access funds before maturity can do so through the Rwanda Stock Exchange (RSE). Through licensed brokers, bondholders can sell their holdings at market prices, providing flexibility and liquidity.
Government bonds in Rwanda are issued both as new issues and through reopenings, with maturities ranging from 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, to 20 years. They provide a safe, long-term investment, allowing individuals to plan for goals such as children's education, retirement, or major projects.
By purchasing government bonds, investors lend funds to the state while earning predictable returns. At maturity, the principal is fully repaid, and interest payments are made on schedule. The use of Rwandan francs ensures local participation, and the bonds are issued monthly to meet both investor demand and government financing needs.
This latest reopening offers a secure and flexible investment opportunity for individuals and institutions, while supporting Rwanda's broader economic development.
