The real GDP growth of the Democratic Republic of the Congo on the basis of production output at the end of September 2018 would be 4.1% according to the Central Bank (BCC), the same pace of wealth creation previously estimated in terms of data available at the end of June.
Up 0.4 percentage point from 2017, this level, according to the conclusions of the 11th meeting of the Monetary Policy Committee (CPM) held on December 21, 2018 in Kinshasa, is mainly due to the performance of the primary sector driven by the extractive industries.
The Central Bank has also called on the government to continue efforts to improve revenue mobilization and rationalize spending by making the necessary trade-offs in fiscal policy.
