Description
The Rwandan franc is the official currency of Rwanda, a landlocked East African nation. Issued by the National Bank of Rwanda, it is subdivided into 100 centimes, though centime coins are no longer in circulation. The franc was introduced in 1964, replacing the former Belgian Congo franc at par, and has since been the backbone of Rwanda's monetary policy.
Rwanda’s economy has seen steady growth, and the franc has been managed through a managed float regime since 2013, allowing for greater flexibility in foreign exchange markets. The currency is commonly denoted as FRw and is used alongside a growing digital payment ecosystem, reflecting the country's rapid adoption of mobile money and fintech solutions.
