MINECOFIN Strategic Plan for 2010-2013

This is an updated version of the 2010-2013 rolling strategic plan for the Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning, Rwanda. The Rwandan economy was not too affected by the global financial crisis. The plan, however, identifies a need to broaden the tax base and improve expenditure efficiency to ensure sustainable budget deficit given that most donor countries are still experiencing limited access to finance.

The Ministry will continue to monitor the implementation of the Financial Sector Development Program to ensure a vibrant and dynamic financial sector in Rwanda. The rolling strategic plan will focus on:

• Ensuring macroeconomic stability;
• Strengthening and deepening the financial sector;
• Strengthening planning function;
• Ensuring successful implementation of the economic development and poverty reduction strategy;
• Ensuring fiscal discipline;
• Strengthening public finance management;
• Strengthening fiscal decentralization;
• Ensuring alignment and improving quality of public investment;
• Integrating population issues in national development programs;
• Implementing regional integration activities related to fiscal and monetary policies;
• Building institutional capacity.
