Mining companies in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) are encouraged to freeze mineral substances from waste in order to capitalize on the potential economic value that exists in these mining wastes. This practice could not only revive or increase the country’s mining production, but also generate significant revenue for the economic and social development of the DRC.
The Congolese government underlines the importance of transparency in the management of mining waste, insisting on the need to create mining rights on these substances and to establish a complete and updated directory by the mining cadastre. By creating an expanded profit base through the exploitation of mineral substances from waste, the State could thus maximize its revenues from the mining sector.
At the same time, the question of returning the hydroelectric dam to Gécamines was raised, highlighting the difficulties encountered by the national electricity company in the management of certain hydroelectric dams. The President of the Republic asked the government to examine ways to resolve this problem, in order to ensure a reliable supply of electricity to populations and companies in the mining sector.
In another area, the Prime Minister announced the extension of free maternity to twelve provinces by April, with the aim of covering all provinces by the end of the year. . This measure is part of the universal health coverage policy aimed at guaranteeing access to care for all Congolese citizens.
Finally, on the economic level, measures are taken to maintain the stability of the macroeconomic framework, in particular by strengthening monetary policy to encourage the appreciation of the Congolese franc against the American dollar. The rationalization of public spending is also highlighted to preserve budgetary viability and ensure public defense.
In conclusion, emphasis is placed on the need to promote responsible mining, guarantee access to health care for all, and maintain economic stability to ensure the sustainable development of the DRC.
