Fatshimétrie: Félix Tshisekedi presents a picture of the economic situation in the DRC
The current political and economic climate in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) continues to attract attention, particularly following the speech given by President Félix Tshisekedi before the two chambers of parliament meeting in congress. During this speech, the Head of State took stock of the Congolese economy, highlighting the challenges the country is facing, but also the encouraging progress made.
Faced with the shocks of the global economy and geopolitical tensions, Félix Tshisekedi highlighted the “exemplary” resilience of the DRC, which has managed to successfully adapt to contemporary challenges. Despite this complex context, the President mentioned encouraging signs of solidity that suggest reassuring economic prospects for the country’s future.
One of the major concerns raised by Félix Tshisekedi concerns inflation, which is hitting the Congolese population hard. However, the Head of State was keen to highlight the efforts made in public finance management and coordination with the Central Bank of Congo, which have helped stabilize the exchange rate.
Thus, the DRC’s international reserves have reached a significant level, providing comfortable room for maneuver to deal with economic uncertainties. This good news was welcomed by the General Inspectorate of Finance (IGF), which congratulated the government on its remarkable economic results since taking office.
The IGF encouraged the government to continue on this path, emphasizing the importance of maintaining control of emergency spending, stabilizing the exchange rate and reducing inflation for the well-being of the population. This recognition underlines the progress made and motivates the authorities to continue their efforts in favor of the Congolese population.
To meet the urgent needs of the population and support economic growth, the government of Félix Tshisekedi has implemented measures to stabilize the macroeconomic framework, improve the business environment and mobilize financing on more favorable terms. These actions are essential to ensure the well-being and prosperity of Congolese citizens.
In conclusion, Félix Tshisekedi’s speech before the parliamentary bodies highlighted both the challenges and the progress of the Congolese economy. Despite the obstacles encountered, the DRC shows a capacity for resilience and adaptation that suggests a promising future. It is now crucial to stay the course to ensure sustainable and inclusive growth, serving all citizens of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
