In the Democratic Republic of Congo, the economy remained vigorous in 2013 with growth of 8.1% (against 7.2% in 2012), thanks to extractive industries, but also to trade, especially construction and agriculture. The growth benefited from improved elements of the business climate, infrastructure rebuilding and sustained demand. Mining was the main driver of growth. Several mining companies have shifted from exploration to actual operations since 2013. In our view, the rationalization of macroeconomic policies and the stability of commodity prices have kept inflation under control at 1.1%, compared with 2.7% in 2012 and a target of 4% in 2013.

These increased from 1,213.7 to 1,766.45 million CDF (Congolese francs) from 2012 to 2013, covering 9.4 weeks of imports. The growth is expected to continue at 8.5% in 2014 and 8.6% in 2015. It will be driven by the mining sector (copper, cobalt, gold and diamonds), reconstruction of roads and energy infrastructure, and rural spin-offs agricultural sector launched in 2012.

These prospects depend on the possible resurgence of conflicts in the east of the country with their possible impact on the sustainability of public finances and the business climate. Falling growth in emerging countries could lead to a decline in foreign direct investment and demand for minerals. The Democratic Republic of Congo launched in 2012 the process of dedollarization the national economy. And this process is one of
