Guidelines on Artificial Intelligence Risk Management for Financial Institutions
The National Bank of Rwanda issued Guidelines No 52/2026 to establish comprehensive risk management requirements for the development, deployment, and oversight of AI systems by financial institutions. The document mandates robust governance structures, requiring Boards and senior management to define risk appetites, maintain AI inventories, and conduct Algorithmic Impact Assessments before deploying high-risk systems. It further enforces strict controls over data quality, model validation, continuous monitoring for drift, and cybersecurity to ensure consumer protection and financial stability.
