Democratic Republic of Congo's Economy
The Democratic Republic of the Congo continues to experience an economic recession due to the contraction of the oil industry following a decrease in production and oil prices globally. A nation that remains primarily dependent on the extraction sector and mineral resources, the Democratic Republic of the Congo lack diversification to boost further economic growth. The government is working towards promoting economic diversification as well as infrastructural developments, which can help enhance trade integration.
