The Chief Executive Officer of RNIT Iterambere Fund, Gatera Sebagabo Jonathan, has called for the fund to be listed on the Rwanda Stock Exchange (RSE) to increase its visibility and enable Rwandans living abroad to invest more easily.
He made the remarks during a media briefing held on July 12, 2026, where the fund’s management reviewed RNIT’s achievements over the past decade and outlined plans to expand the country’s savings culture.

10 Years of Growth
RNIT Iterambere Fund was launched by the Government of Rwanda in 2014 and began full operations in 2016 to encourage a culture of saving and investment among Rwandans.
The fund allows individuals to start saving with as little as RWF 2,000 while earning returns on their investments.
According to Gatera, more than 360,000 people have invested through RNIT over the past 10 years, with total savings surpassing RWF 150 billion.

Listing to Boost Global Visibility
Gatera said listing the fund on the Rwanda Stock Exchange would make it more accessible to investors, particularly members of the Rwandan diaspora.
he said: “We want the fund to be listed on the stock exchange. The benefit is that it would become more widely known, including internationally. It would no longer be known only within the country, but Rwandans living abroad would also become aware of it. Members of the Diaspora often ask us why they do not see us on the stock exchange.”
He added that RNIT plans to begin discussions with Rwanda’s capital market regulator to facilitate the listing process.
