Summary:The COVID-19 pandemic is having an adverse impact on Rwanda's economy, despite a sizeable policy response. Output in 2020 is projected to contract by 0.2 percent, compared to an 8 percent increase expected pre-pandemic.

With the number of infections contained, the authorities are gradually easing up containment measures.
