Democratic Republic of the Congo sees economic and reform progress
The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is making significant strides in economic reform and structural stability, according to recent international assessments. During a World Trade Organization (WTO) review in Geneva, Morocco praised the DRC for its macroeconomic stability and its efforts to diversify its economy through the National Strategic Development Plan (PNSD 2024-2028). Morocco noted that the DRC achieved an average real GDP growth of 4.8 percent during the reviewed period, reaching 5.7 percent in 2025.
In a separate development, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) commended the DRC for progress in reforming its petroleum product pricing structure. This reform, discussed during the fourth annual review of the DRC’s economic and financial program, aims to stabilize public finances and secure the national market supply while managing the impact of subsidies on household purchasing power.
Key areas of focus for the DRC include industrialization, infrastructure development, the modernization of public administration, and the local transformation of natural resources. The country continues to leverage its strategic mining resources, hydroelectric potential, and agricultural sector to drive economic transformation.
