Congo Brazzaville Continues its Reforms to Strengthen its Attractiveness

   Brazzaville, Congo

The Congolese Government, led by Prime Minister Anatole Collinet Makosso, has reaffirmed its commitment to consolidating public finances and improving the business climate. Priorities include a tax reform aimed at increasing state revenues, as well as more sustainable public debt management through the extension of its maturity.

This strategy is accompanied by a strong mobilization of resources on the BEAC public securities market, where Congo raised more than 403 billion CFA francs in the first quarter of 2026, reflecting investor confidence in the country's financing strategy.

Digital technology is also a major development pillar. According to a recent report, continued investment in infrastructure and sector reforms could generate nearly 870 billion CFA francs in added value by 2030, create more than 144,000 jobs, and accelerate the digital inclusion of the population.

In the mining sector, the launch of the Mengo potash deposit exploitation project, led by the Dangote Group, represents an estimated investment of USD 3 billion. This project, which includes the construction of a fertilizer production plant, will contribute to economic diversification, the development of the mining industry, and the strengthening of food security.

Finally, Congo is continuing its efforts in natural resource governance with the commencement of the validation phase under the 2023 EITI Standard. This approach aims to strengthen transparency, good governance, and the credibility of the extractive sector—essential factors for increasing the country's attractiveness to domestic and international investors.

These advances illustrate the determination of the Congolese authorities to promote a more competitive, more transparent economic environment that is favorable to productive investment.
