### Summary and overall assessment
- Progress under the Policy Support Instrument (PSI) has continued to be satisfactory.
- Except for the ceiling on nonconcessional borrowing (NCB), all quantitative assessment criteria were met.
- All indicative targets and structural benchmarks were met.
- The IMF staff recommends a waiver for the nonobservance of the NCB ceiling on the basis of the authorities’ commitment to prevent any reoccurrence.

### Nonconcessional borrowing incident
- The nonobservance of the NCB ceiling occurred when the authorities allowed Rwandair to contract a new US$50.7 million external loan in July.
- IMF staff response: recommendation of a waiver given the authorities’ commitment to prevent reoccurrence.

### Policy implications and staff action
- IMF staff recommends a waiver for the single missed quantitative criterion (NCB ceiling) based on commitments from Rwandan authorities.
- Request included for a Three-Year PSI and cancellation of the current PSI (title reflects both the Seventh Review and the request/cancellation actions).
