Rwanda: Technical Assistance Report-Monetary and Financial Statistics Mission (July 29–August 9, 2024)

The mission assisted the staff of the National Bank of Rwanda (NBR) in broadening the coverage of MFS, to include other financial corporations (OFCs) and compile the OFCs Survey, aligned with the IMF’s 2016 Monetary and Financial Statistics Manual and Compilation Guide (2016 MFSMCG). In addition the mission discussed (i) the development of a Balance Sheet Approach (BSA) matrix with full coverage of the financial sector and with additional data from the external, fiscal and real sectors; (ii) data consistency between central bank, other depository corporations (ODCs) and OFCs; (iii) integrated MFS (stocks, transactions, and other flows); and provided hands-on training on MFS compilation issues to the officials of the NBR’s Statistics Department.
