Rwanda’s Prime Minister, Justin Nsengiyumva, held high-level talks with the newly elected leadership of the Private Sector Federation (PSF), focusing on strategies to increase productivity and accelerate investment in key sectors of the country’s economy.

The meeting took place on April 9, 2026, at the Prime Minister’s Office, highlighting the government’s commitment to strengthening collaboration with the private sector widely seen as a driving force behind Rwanda’s economic transformation.

The new PSF leadership was elected in March 2026, with Twagirumukiza François taking over from Mubiligi Jeanne Françoise. He is deputized by Jean Claude Uwizeyemungu as First Vice Chairperson and Diane Mukasahaha Kamanzi as Second Vice Chairperson.

Discussions centered on unlocking the private sector’s full potential through increased investment, job creation, and the expansion of industry and trade. Both sides emphasized the importance of removing business barriers and fostering an environment that encourages innovation and sustainable growth.

The private sector continues to play a pivotal role in Rwanda’s development, contributing through tax revenues, infrastructure development, and the delivery of essential services. Through PSF, businesses are also able to advocate for policies that improve the ease of doing business.

Established in 1999, PSF replaced the former Chamber of Commerce and Industry, transitioning into a fully private-sector-led institution. Today, it operates through 10 professional chambers representing various sectors of the economy and maintains structures from grassroots to national level.

Among its flagship activities is the organization of the annual International Trade Fair (Expo), which brings together local and international businesses, creating opportunities for market expansion and knowledge exchange.

The meeting between Prime Minister Nsengiyumva and the new PSF leadership signals a renewed push to deepen public-private partnerships, with the shared goal of sustaining Rwanda’s economic growth and improving livelihoods.
