The Democratic Republic of the Congo, with a population of approximately 95 million and a GDP of around $70 billion in 2023, is rich in natural resources. The per capita income is about $700. The country’s economy is heavily reliant on mining, particularly cobalt and copper.
Despite its vast mineral wealth, DRC faces challenges related to political instability and infrastructure. Recent efforts aim to improve the business environment and attract foreign direct investment (FDI) to develop mining and other sectors, presenting significant opportunities for growth.
