Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>The Governor of the National Bank of Rwanda has expressed optimism about investments in gold reserves, saying the country would reap returns in the long run.<\/p>\n

Soraya Hakuziyaremye said this on Thursday, August 21, as she presented the decisions of the quarterly Financial Stability Committee meeting.<\/p>\n

The central bank added gold to its foreign reserves starting in July.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose investments have started. The good news is that we see that the price of gold, as we had anticipated in our research, continues to increase\u2014around $106,000 to $108,000 per kilo,\u201d Hakuziyaremye said.<\/p>\n

She noted that gold has historically offered steady returns.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe annual return on gold prices in the last 20 years has been around 11 per cent,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a central bank, of course, when we invest our foreign exchange reserves, I would say the objective is, first, to maintain capital, and that is achieved through gold… and there’s even diversification from the government security instruments and adding gold to our portfolio. Second is to have liquid assets and gold is sought-after by central banks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hakuziyaremye stressed that demand for gold remains strong among central banks globally, making it a reliable investment.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, those three objectives are met. And we will continue to invest in gold as opportunities arise,\u201d she said, adding that the outcomes of the investment would be detailed in BNR\u2019s annual financial reports.<\/p>\n

The central bank had earlier explained that the decision was part of a broader regional trend in East Africa, where several central banks are diversifying their reserve assets to reduce dependency on traditional instruments.<\/p>\n
