CONGO

Chair

The Republic of the Congo, with a population of about 5.6 million and a GDP of approximately $14 billion in 2023, has an economy largely driven by oil exports, which contribute significantly to its revenue. The per capita income is around $2,500.

The government is working on diversifying the economy by investing in sectors like agriculture, mining, and infrastructure. Opportunities for foreign direct investment (FDI) exist in these areas, with ongoing efforts to improve the business climate and infrastructure development.
