About this statute

This provision says the Law creates the National Bank of Rwanda (BNR/NBR). This article defines key terms used in the law, including regulations, directives, the Governor, the Deputy Governor, decisions, and reserve funds. BNR’s overall capital is set at 7,000,000,000 FRW, and it may later be increased under the stated approval conditions. BNR has legal personality and administrative and financial autonomy, is not subject to directives in carrying out its powers or mission, and is exempt from commercial registration and public accounting rules. BNR may move its head office within Rwanda, open branches anywhere in the country with Board approval, and appoint financial institutions as agents or correspondents.
