Interest represents the average interest rate on all new public and publicly guaranteed loans contracted during the year.

Debt from official creditors includes loans from international organizations (multilateral loans) and loans from governments (bilateral loans). Loans from international organization include loans and credits from the World Bank, regional development banks, and other multilateral and intergovernmental agencies. Excluded are loans from funds administered by an international organization on behalf of a single donor government; these are classified as loans from governments. Government loans include loans from governments and their agencies (including central banks), loans from autonomous bodies, and direct loans from official export credit agencies. All creditors combined (IDS counterpart area: World); figures by creditor are not carried. Annual figures for Rwanda from 1970 to 2025.
