23 Quantitative Findings 3.1.6. Return on equity by sector 2008 and 2009 In the period under review the overall return on equity attributable to foreign direct and portfolio investors declined to 9.0 percent in 2009 from 28.0 percent in 2008 (See Table 5) . This situation was largely attributed to the decline in overall profit to RWF 7,916 million in 2009 from RWF 29,209 million in 2008 mainly due to lower economic activities as the result of the global financial and economic crisis. In addition increase green field investments in mining and financial sectors which had not yet realized their returns on investment, contributed to the decline in overall profitability.
