KIGALI, July 10 (Reuters) - Rwandan remittance inflows rose 26 percent to $71.4 million for the first 5 months of 2009, from $56.8 for the same period last year, in spite of the global economic downturn, the central bank said on Friday.

Rwanda's central bank governor, Francois Kanimba, said remittances to the central African country have grown around 25-30 percent annually since 2006 and have continued to climb against earlier predictions of decline this year.

Kanimba said money sent home to relatives in Rwanda in 2009 would likely total between $160-200 million, making it Rwanda's second biggest foreign exchange earner after tourism which brought in $214 million in 2008.

"We were surprised that in 2009, compared to 2008, there was some significant increase," he told Reuters by telephone.
