Rwanda's long-run central government fiscal history, compiled by the Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning (MINECOFIN) in the discontinued IMF GFSM1986 framework and carried in the MacroFramework compendium published through its data portal. Covering 1990 to 2020 in billions of Rwandan francs, the series reports the headline fiscal aggregates: total revenue and its tax and non-tax components, grants, total expenditure and net lending, current expenditure with wages and interest, capital expenditure, the primary deficit, the overall deficit including grants, and total financing. It is the deep-history complement to the modern GFSM2014 statement (fiscal-operations.annual), which begins only in 2013/14, and captures the arc of Rwanda's public finances from the early 1990s, through the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi and the reconstruction that followed, into the fiscal expansion of the 2000s and 2010s. Figures are nominal and are not adjusted for inflation, so the three-decade growth reflects both real expansion and substantial price change. Because GFSM1986 was superseded, values for 2013 onward overlap the GFSM2014 series and the latter should be preferred for the overlap years. The pipeline reads the GFSM1986 calendar-year sheet from the newest MacroFramework edition; the workbook's other sheets are reserved for their primary producers or covered elsewhere.
