On 11 June 2026, the Chamber of Deputies, during a joint plenary sitting of both chambers of Parliament, approved the relevance of the bill determining the State Budget for the 2026/2027 fiscal year.
The draft Finance Bill provides for total projected resources and expenditures amounting to Frw 7,796.3 billion. Domestic resources account for Frw 5,273.8 billion (68%), while external resources amount to Frw 2,522 billion (32%), including Frw 548.3 billion in grants and Frw 1,974.1 billion in loans.
Total expenditure is projected at Frw 7,796.3 billion, of which Frw 4,785.5 billion (61%) is allocated to recurrent spending and Frw 3,010.8 billion (39%) to capital investment. The allocations are aligned with the National Strategy for Transformation (NST2), with 62.86% earmarked for the Economic Transformation Pillar (Frw 4,900.9 billion), 21.95% for Social Transformation (Frw 1,711.3 billion), and 15.19% for Transformational Governance (Frw 1,184.1 billion).
Priority areas under Economic Transformation include agriculture productivity, energy generation, transport infrastructure, industrial development, ICT expansion, and environmental sustainability. Social Transformation focuses on healthcare, education, social protection, nutrition, and disaster management. Transformational Governance emphasises service delivery, justice and rule of law, citizen participation, peace and security, and international cooperation.
The Bill incorporates recommendations adopted by Parliament during the review of the 2026/2027–2028/2029 Budget Framework Paper.
Following the approval of its relevance, the draft law has been referred to the standing committee for detailed examination, while the Senate will provide its opinions before the final vote.
