The Democratic Republic of the Congo has emerged as an economic force, driven largely by its vast mineral wealth and rising global demand for critical resources. According to recent International Monetary Fund (IMF) projections, the country is set to overtake Ethiopia, becoming sub‑Saharan Africa’s fifth‑largest economy. Key sectors such as mining, cobalt and copper have served as the backbone supporting expansion and attracting foreign investment.

To explore in more detail what is driving this growth, we are joined by Nico Minga, Senior Economic Adviser at the DRC Ministry of Economy for the past two years and former Regional Director for an oil and gas service company, covering the Central Africa geomarket for 18 years.
