Rwanda's public debt sustainability indicators, expressed as a share of gross domestic product and published each year by the Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning (MINECOFIN) in its Debt Stock workbook. Seven ratios are tracked: public and publicly guaranteed (PPG) debt, PPG plus private debt (the total economy-wide figure), private debt, domestic debt, central government external debt, debt of state-owned enterprises, and total external debt covering both public and private borrowers. All are measured at the end-of-period exchange rate as a percentage of GDP. The series tells the central story of Rwanda's post-2010 development finance: public and publicly guaranteed debt climbed from about 19 percent of GDP in 2010 to roughly 74 percent by 2023, driven mainly by external concessional borrowing for infrastructure, while domestic debt grew more slowly. MINECOFIN compiles the figures from central government, state-owned enterprise, and private external debt records, and publishes them as a digital spreadsheet through its publications data portal, from which the pipeline fetches the newest annual edition and parses the debt-to-GDP ratios sheet. Debt levels in Rwandan francs and US dollars, and the detailed external debt breakdowns by creditor, maturity, and currency, are carried in the same workbook and are reserved for future datasets.
