Rwanda is characterised by relative political stability, high population density (over 500 inhabitants per km²) and sustained population growth. Although it is not particularly exposed to climate risks according to Germanwatch, the country has a strict environmental policy that is above the regional average. Its corruption perception index (Transparency International) is also better than that of its neighbours.
However, the country remains marked by an authoritarian regime, a low HDI (165th out of 189) and persistent inequalities. Its economic strategy is based on significant public investment, particularly in infrastructure and services, financed by relatively high debt and taxation compared to its neighbours.
