The rebound of the franc

By: Mukendi, Richard

The year 2025 marked a major turning point for the economy of the Democratic Republic of Congo. After a period of high volatility, the Congolese franc began a vigorous appreciation, driven by the rigorous policies of the Central Bank of Congo. However, a paradox persists: why does this monetary performance not immediately translate into a lower cost of living for the population?Through a meticulous survey of households and SMEs in Lubumbashi, Richard Mukendi Ntumba analyzes the gap between macroeconomic indicators and the reality of the "household basket". This book explores the transmission mechanisms of monetary policy, and demonstrates that true stability can only be achieved by an imperative strengthening of local production. An essential tool for decision-makers, students and any citizen wishing to understand the challenges of national economic sovereignty.
