Rugemanshuro also disclosed that the institution recorded a net surplus of Rwf 413 billion in 2025, representing a 15.6 percent return on investment.<\/p>\n

He made the remarks on January 20, 2025, while appearing before the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Social Affairs<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been a long journey to reach where we are today,\u201d Rugemanshuro told MPs.<\/p>\n

The Director General noted that RSSB has undergone wide-ranging reforms, including improvements in investment governance, to strengthen the institution\u2019s operations. <\/p>\n

Rugemanshuro highlighted changes in the way RSSB operates with employers, employees, and beneficiaries, noting that members\u2019 contributions have increased alongside benefits paid to beneficiaries.<\/p>\n

He added that employers can now access contribution-related information more easily through digital platforms, while the institution has stepped up efforts to recover unpaid contributions.<\/p>\n

In 2025, RSSB was owed arrears amounting to Rwf 27.9 billion, including Rwf 16 billion from public institutions and Rwf 11 billion from private entities. During the year, the government paid Rwf 2 billion of the outstanding amount, while private entities settled Rwf 9 billion.<\/p>\n

Rugemanshuro assured Parliament that RSSB remains financially sound and capable of meeting its obligations to members.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would like to give a strong assurance that RSSB has sufficient capacity to meet its obligations to members at all times in the future,” he assured.<\/p>\n

He added that the institution\u2019s current position reflects the successful implementation of its investment strategy.<\/p>\n

RSSB\u2019s investment portfolio is diversified across several asset classes. About 40 percent of its assets are invested in fixed-income securities, while 15 percent is held as cash and bank deposits to ensure liquidity and support day-to-day operations and benefit payments.<\/p>\n

A further 20 percent is invested in commercial ventures, 14 percent in development-oriented investments aligned with national priorities, and 11 percent in real estate, including housing and land projects.<\/p>\n

Rugemanshuro emphasised that RSSB\u2019s investment strategy is aligned with Rwanda\u2019s development agenda, noting that approximately 95 percent of the institution\u2019s investments are located within the country.<\/p>\n
