Fatshimetrie, the digital international news magazine, recently highlighted an important meeting that took place in the governorate of the North Kivu province, in Goma, on September 16, 2024. During this meeting, lively discussions took place between the deputy chief of staff of the governor and a delegation from Kinshasa, marking a key moment in the economic outlook of the region.
The focus was on the issue of facilities to be granted to economic operators in North Kivu in order to promote a drop in the prices of basic necessities. Mr. Crispin Ntambwe, Director of Human Resources at the Ministry of National Economy and head of the delegation, expressed the willingness of the central government to support economic operators in this objective.
The mission of the ministerial delegation is to establish contacts with local economic operators to evaluate their products and stocks, as well as to analyze current selling prices. Once this step is completed, the Ministry will take decisions regarding the granting of facilities to enable economic operators to revise downwards the prices of products, with the aim of supporting the purchasing power of populations, particularly in the most affected areas.
It is essential that all economic actors mobilize and cooperate with the ministerial team to facilitate this process and ensure its success. Since the unrest caused by the advent of the M23, the socio-economic situation in North Kivu has been seriously disrupted, prompting local actors and pressure groups to ask the central government to declare the region a disaster area.
This initiative underlines the importance of solidarity and cooperation between government authorities and economic actors to address the socio-economic challenges facing the province of North Kivu. The decision to grant facilities to economic operators shows a political will to strengthen support for local populations and restore economic stability in the region.
Fatshimetrie will continue to closely monitor the development of this situation and will provide its readers with the latest information on the measures taken to stimulate the local economy and improve the living conditions of the populations of North Kivu.
