Analysis by Region - Emerging Markets - Congo
As the DRC's extractive industries are expected to record another bumper year, our previous real GDP growth forecast of 4.6% in 2024 is still appropriate. The country will benefit from higher copper prices while cobalt prices will likely continue to take strain this year. Consequently, economic growth is projected to slow over the medium term to 3.9% in 2025 and 3.7% in 2026. The security situation in the eastern parts of the country and an ongoing reliance on extractive industries are key risks to the outlook.
