Congo

The Republic of the Congo is pursuing reforms and investment to animate its energy sector and broader infrastructure landscape, including the introduction of a new gas code to attract investment into gas exploration and development. While the hydrocarbon sector remains central, government strategy is increasingly focused on diversifying energy infrastructure to support domestic needs and industrial applications. Enhancing legal frameworks, expanding infrastructure financing and improving governance are critical to unlocking sustained private capital and translating resource-sector growth into broader economic development.

Dem. Rep. Congo

The Democratic Republic of the Congo has stepped up infrastructure investment to strengthen connectivity and stimulate economic development, including road rehabilitation, airport upgrades and improved access to markets supported by external financing from multilateral partners. Infrastructure remains critical given the country’s vast size and low access to electricity and reliable transport; projects such as road corridor development and expansion of trade logistics aim to unlock mineral value chains and agricultural markets. Strengthening institutional frameworks, enhancing public-private partnerships and improving governance are key to translating these investments into inclusive growth and diversification beyond resource exports.
