Fatshimetrie recently published a major article highlighting the efforts made by Prime Minister Judith Suminwa Tuluka to ensure the well-being of the population during the end-of-year festivities. This period is often marked by an increase in the prices of basic necessities, and the government is taking measures to ensure that citizens can celebrate in peace and serenity.
During the 24th meeting of the Council of Ministers, held on Friday, November 29, 2024, Judith Suminwa Tuluka clearly expressed her expectations of her ministers. She instructed the Minister of National Economy, the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Foreign Trade to organize meetings with importers and distributors of basic necessities. The objective of these discussions is to assess the supply on the market and ensure that prices remain affordable, in accordance with the measures taken by Decree No. 24/07 of September 19, 2024.
This initiative is part of a broader fight against the high cost of living, a decree having already been signed to this effect by the Prime Minister. This decree aims to obtain a reduction in the prices of imported foodstuffs, in particular meat, poultry, fish, powdered milk, rice, corn, vegetable oil and sugar. Fiscal and parafiscal adjustments have been put in place to ease the household basket and strengthen the purchasing power of Congolese households.
The government’s efforts also aim to stabilize the national currency against the US dollar, with the ultimate goal of improving the living conditions of the population. These measures represent a significant step forward in the fight against the high cost of living and demonstrate the executive’s commitment to ensuring the well-being and tranquility of citizens during the festive period.
During this festive period, it is reassuring to see the government taking concrete measures to ensure the stability of prices for basic necessities. This demonstrates proactive management that is concerned with the well-being of the population, in a sometimes difficult economic context. Citizens can thus celebrate in peace, knowing that their government is looking out for their comfort and safety.
This initiative by Prime Minister Judith Suminwa Tuluka shows the importance given to protecting citizens and promoting social well-being in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Let us hope that these measures will bear fruit and contribute to improving the quality of life of the entire Congolese population, particularly during periods of celebration and gathering.
In conclusion, the actions undertaken by the government to guarantee price stability and ensure the tranquility of citizens during the end-of-year holidays are commendable and demonstrate a strong political will in favor of the well-being of the population. It is essential that these efforts continue and strengthen, with the aim of promoting a stable economic environment conducive to the development of all Congolese.
