Rwanda aims high

BBC World Service - World Business Report, Rwanda aims high

Nearly two decades after the genocide which tore the country apart, Rwanda is making a comeback. We hear from the country's finance minister, who says their determination to become a middle income country is paying off. Also, a year since Facebook became a public company, we ask whether its popularity is on the wane amongst younger users. We hear about the latest fleet of super container ships nearly half a kilometre long and as broad as an autobahn. Plus our review of the week's business news with Mark Gilbert of Bloomberg and the BBC's new chief business correspondent, Linda Yueh.
