In the three main sectors that constitute a country’s economy we find the industrial sector regarded as the secondary sector of the economy after the agricultural sector which is the primary sector of the economy. This sector of the economy comprises of of economic activities performed by companies, organizations and people engaged in the production of services and goods in a given field reason why industries are categorized according to the goods and services they produce.

The government of Rwanda makes projections of its revenues in order to model its monetary and fiscal policy for it to achieve that objective it is better to have a model that can estimate the future values of revenues that can be generated from the industrial sector as one of the three main sectors that makes up the economy of Rwanda.

A successful time series forecasting is imperatively dependent on an appropriate fitting model. Industrial sector in Rwanda is one of important factors of the economic growth in Rwanda, with the development of the industrial sector in Rwanda, predicting the future behavior of this sector output comprises uncertainty due to the ignorance of mathematical and statistical techniques while doing predictions. The interest of this study is to find an ARIMA model which is most appropriate to forecasting industrial growth in Rwanda using Eviews.

The Box-Jenkins methodology is the one which was used in this paper and based on the research obtained, we identified the model appropriate to forecasting industrial output in Rwanda as ARIMA (2,1,10). And based on the model selected the estimated forecast of the industrial output in Rwanda will increase on average of 0.35 percent quarterly in the period of 2021Q1 to 2023Q1 and on the average of 0.32 percent from 2023Q2 to 2023Q4. The results of the forecasting unit price of coffee export using Eviews is stable enough.

Understanding the Divide: Exploring the Debt Disparity Between the United States and the Global South

In the world of economics, debt plays a pivotal role in shaping the development trajectory of nations. However, not all debts are created equal. A glaring contrast exists between the debt burdens of developed nations like the United States and those of the Global South. This contrast not only reflects economic inequality but also serves as a significant factor contributing to underdevelopment in many regions. In this article, we delve into the disparities between the United States' debt and that of the Global South, exploring why it perpetuates underdevelopment and the role of international financial institutions like the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in perpetuating this cycle. The United States Debt: A Different League The United States boasts one of the highest national debt levels globally, currently exceeding USD 28 trillion [1]. However, the nature and implications of this debt significantly differ from those faced by countries in the Global South. Th...

Rising from the Shadows: How the World's Poorest Nations Can Rewrite Their Economic Future

Most often we economists are very often studying the poorest countries in the world not simply to analyze grimy statistics but to find ways by which these countries could embark on paths toward transformation. Think about it for a second: Burundi, South Sudan, Somalia, Central African Republic, Niger, Chad, Mali, Yemen, Burkina Faso, and Sierra Leone-all have held the title of "poorest," though with so much potential and resources lying under their feet. They stand at the threshold of transformation, notwithstanding that heavy burden of poverty, political instability, and infrastructure deficits. By reinventing their economies and leveraging even modest strengths, these countries can break free from the chains of poverty. What helps knit them together is their shared heritage of turmoil: political turbulence, continuing conflict, and economic precariousness have been nothing short of traveling companions. The resulting turbulence discourages foreign investment, disrupts e...

Addressing Poverty in Chad: Innovative Solutions for Sustainable Development

Chad, a landlocked country located in Central Africa, faces significant challenges when it comes to poverty eradication. With limited resources, political instability, and environmental constraints, the country struggles to uplift its population from the grips of poverty. However, innovative solutions are emerging amidst these difficulties, offering hope for a brighter future. In this article, we will explore the multifaceted aspects of poverty in Chad and shed light on some of the innovative approaches and interventions that are making a difference in tackling poverty and fostering sustainable development. Chad is among the poorest countries globally, with a high prevalence of poverty and a low Human Development Index (HDI) (UNDP, 2020). The country faces numerous challenges such as limited access to education, healthcare, clean water, and food insecurity (World Bank, 2019). These factors contribute to the persistent cycle of poverty in Chad. Innovative farming techniques ...
