AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Capital Markets: The DRC signed an agreement with the International Finance Corporation to support the creation of the Kinshasa Stock Exchange, building on the country’s recent $1.25bn Eurobond debut and aiming to strengthen regulation and market infrastructure. Mining & Local Content: Congolese miners are asking for a delay on a directive requiring a 5% equity stake for local workers, as unions push enforcement before a July 31 deadline. Digital Economy: Trident Digital Tech says it has activated RDC-PASS, the DRC’s national digital identity ecosystem under a 20-year public-private partnership, meant to modernize public services and enable wider economic participation. Connectivity & Trade: Airbus highlights major Africa flight gaps, including Dubai–Kinshasa, while noting that route development depends on coordinated risk-sharing between airlines, airports and tourism demand. Health & Business Risk: With Ebola spreading in eastern DRC, peace efforts and cross-border coordination are being flagged as essential to keep borders open for response teams and protect regional trade corridors. Geopolitics & Minerals: US-backed moves tied to cobalt and copper projects in the DRC are framed as part of a broader push to reduce China’s grip on critical minerals. Governance: Tshisekedi’s referendum bill cleared the Senate, bringing the country closer to a constitutional showdown over potential third-term ambitions.
