The Capital Market Authority of Rwanda issued Guidelines No. 002/CMA_G/2023 to operationalize a regulatory sandbox for testing fintech innovations across the capital markets value chain. The framework enables start-ups, established fintech firms, and market participants to live-test innovative products—including crowdfunding models, digital investment platforms, and regulatory technology—under controlled conditions for a specified duration. It establishes eligibility criteria, a structured application and approval process, mandatory reporting obligations, and clear pathways for sandbox completion and full regulatory compliance.
