**The Democratic Republic of Congo Headed for Significant Change in Investments**
The economy of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) seems to be taking a positive turn with the increase in credits allocated to the investment sector. Indeed, the announcement of an increase of more than 18% in resources intended for investments has elicited positive reactions, notably that of the President of the National Assembly, Vital Kamerhe.
The latter stressed the importance of this increase in investment budgets, exceeding for the first time the threshold of 48% in 2025. He sees in this development a real opportunity for more transparent and effective governance in the DRC.
The President of the National Assembly insists on the faithful execution of the budget, emphasizing that the long-awaited change can only be achieved through strict compliance with budgetary commitments. He emphasizes the need for rigorous monitoring to ensure that declared projects are actually carried out, thus avoiding harmful budget overruns.
National deputies also expressed their satisfaction with this increase in investments, calling on the government to prioritize spending in key sectors for economic growth. They emphasize the need to eliminate social disparities and ensure fair remuneration for civil servants supported by the public treasury.
It is important to note that investment expenditure for the 2025 financial year is estimated at 21,964.7 billion Congolese francs, recording a significant increase compared to the previous year. These investments are mainly focused on projects in social and growth-promoting sectors, in line with the country’s economic diversification objectives.
The Prime Minister stressed the importance of financing agricultural development projects for the year 2025, thus emphasizing the agricultural and rural sector as an engine of economic growth.
In conclusion, this increase in credits allocated to investments in the DRC represents a significant step towards more responsible and effective governance. It is essential that these resources are used efficiently to stimulate the country’s economic development and improve the living conditions of the population.
