Today, the Rwanda Bankers’ Association (RBA) and its member banks joined the Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning (MINECOFIN), the National Bank of Rwanda (BNR), and other key stakeholders in the financial sector to celebrate World Savings Day and officially launch the National Savings Week in Gicumbi District.
The event, held under the theme “Save Invest, for Economic Resilience,” underscored the importance of building a saving culture among Rwandans as a foundation for financial stability and sustainable economic growth.
Representatives from RBA and member banks highlighted the banking sector’s commitment to financial inclusion through innovative saving products and awareness campaigns that make saving more accessible and convenient for everyone from urban professionals to rural entrepreneurs. They also emphasized that saving is not only a personal financial habit but also a key driver of national development. By promoting regular saving practices, Rwandans can enhance their financial resilience and contribute to the country’s vision of becoming a self-reliant economy.
Throughout the National Savings Week (October 31 – November 7, 2025), activities will be conducted across the country to engage citizens in conversations about financial literacy, responsible saving, and long-term planning.
As the financial sector continues to collaborate on such initiatives, RBA remains dedicated to empowering Rwandans to make informed financial decisions and secure their futures through consistent saving.
