Description

Stronger copper and cobalt prices, alongside expanding mining output, are set to support the DRC’s near-term economic growth outlook. However, GDP growth is still expected to weaken against last year and to moderate over the medium term as the mining sector gradually stabilises after a period of exceptionally strong expansion and elevated commodity prices. Meanwhile, the recent drone strikes in Goma and persistent insecurity in eastern DRC continue to pose downside risks to investment and economic stability.
