Ruliba Clays, the only brick- and tile-making company in Rwanda, has increased the prices of its products beginning this year by more than 20 per cent.

Although Rwanda’s construction sector has grown steadily over the years despite the high cost of raw materials, it is certain to suffer a setback following Ruliba’s move.
