Rwanda has emerged as the most improved economy globally for ease of doing business in the World Bank’s Doing Business 2014 Report. The government continues to invest heavily in infrastructure as evidenced by almost a tenth of Rwanda’s annual budget being committed to transport and other infrastructure, with the intent of dramatically reducing the cost of transport to businesses and individuals. Having established a sales office in Rwanda in November 2013, Anglo African quickly expanded to cover the financial services and public sector. The main areas of focus in the short and medium term will be telecommunications and infrastructure.
