Title: The Kinshasa Financial Center: an ambitious project in full swing
Introduction:
Urban development in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) continues to progress, and the Kinshasa Financial Center is a shining example. Construction work on this complex is progressing quickly, and journalists were recently able to visit the site. Scheduled to be inaugurated on December 2, this mega structure demonstrates cooperation between the DRC and Turkey. In this article, we will explore the details of this ambitious undertaking.
A significant step forward:
Eleven months after the start of work, engineers estimate that the execution rate has reached nearly 75%. These impressive figures show the commitment of all those involved in the project. The construction of the Kinshasa Financial Center benefits from the partnership between the DRC and the Turkish firm Miller Holding, through its subsidiary Milvest. With a team of more than 3,000 workers, made up of both Congolese and Turkish workers, the site is in full swing.
A versatile structure:
The Kinshasa Financial Center is made up of six large buildings. Buildings A and B, two twin towers of more than fifteen levels, will house the Ministries of Finance and Budget, as well as other public offices. Next door, a 19-level 5-star hotel with 240 rooms will offer quality accommodation to passing visitors. A large conference hall and residential buildings complete the ensemble.
A major investment:
The total cost of the work amounts to 290 million US dollars, entirely covered by the Turkish company Milvest. However, under the contractual clauses, all infrastructure will be transferred to the DRC and its people after a period of 49 years of management by Milvest. This partnership allows the DRC to benefit from modern infrastructure without direct financial support.
Economic and social impact:
In addition to the architectural aspect, the Kinshasa Financial Center generates significant economic and social benefits. More than 3,000 jobs were created, providing employment opportunities for both Congolese and Turkish workers. In addition, part of the resources generated by the complex will be used for the development of the DRC, thus contributing to economic growth and wealth creation.
Conclusion:
The Kinshasa Financial Center is an ambitious project which demonstrates the progress of urban development in the DRC. Cooperation between the DRC and Turkey makes it possible to create this modern infrastructure, which will become a real economic engine for the region. With an inauguration planned in the coming months, this complex will bring economic opportunities and contribute to strengthening the image of Kinshasa as a regional financial center.
