As per the report by world bank group Rwanda has been ranked top reformer country in 2010 by passing 7 reforms to encourage International & domestic investment. In this server of 183 countries Rwanda improved its position from 143 to 67. This is a remarkable growth for any country. Some of the points from these reforms are as follows

·         Building of  warehouses are simple in terms of procedures, time, and costs
·         The cross border trade has been more regulated.  Import and export processes have been made easier
