The Democratic Republic of Congo, a “geological scandal” with incredible natural and mineral wealth according to the Deputy Prime Minister of National Economy Vital Kamerhe. It was during a presentation made at the 18th edition of the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) EXIMBANK in New Delhi that the boss of the Economy highlighted the geological and hydrographic assets that make the DRC the hope of humanity.
The Deputy Prime Minister also revealed several investment projects that could boost the country’s economic and infrastructural sector. These include the construction of a 2,500 km long railway, which will link the port of Banana to Uvira and connect to Dar-es-Salam via Burundi. An ambitious project that will require significant financial resources.
The DRC also offers several Special Economic Zones (SEZ), which will benefit investors and developers from numerous tax and customs advantages. It is in this perspective that Vital Kamerhe, spokesperson for investment opportunities, invited Indian investors to participate effectively in the financing of investments in order to contribute to the achievement of the objectives of economic emergence that the DRC has fixed.
In short, the DRC is full of invaluable natural and mineral assets, sources of economic opportunities and investments for foreign investors. But to make these ambitious projects a reality, the country relies on the financial support and expertise of economic partners, led by India, to demonstrate shared and sustainable growth.
