Rwanda is Africa's most attractive market for
retailers looking to expand in the fast-growing continent, according to a
report by consultancy AT Kearney that hails the small east African
state's economic reforms and business-friendly agenda.
Under President Paul Kagame,
Rwanda has made great leaps in rebuilding after the 1994 genocide by
building roads and making it easy to start or register a new business.
Rwanda has an efficient government and strong
macroeconomic indicators that reveal many opportunities for
international retailers that can offer basic packaged goods," said
Marieke Witjes, co-author of AT Kearney's first African Retail Development Index, released on Monday.
The index, which will be
compiled annually, ranks the 20 African countries identified as having
the best potential for retailers.
