Abstract :
The DRC is amongst the poorest nations in the
world. In 2022, approximately 62% of the country's
population — or 60 million people — lived on less than $
2.15 a day (World Bank 2022). The DRC itself counts
about fifty percent of people who live under the poverty
line. Despite the critical resources that the country has.
The main threats that the country faces are the lack of
basic infrastructures, corruption, long-lasting conflict,
political instability, poor governance, etc. Other issue that
should get an important attention is climate change—its
spillovers. Those challenges require huge found that the
country can't afford. Although, the country could take
advantage of possibility that international community
offers in terms of financing those issues. On the
government side, good practices are condition of drawing
found. This research gives us the big picture of the main
threats that could weigh on DRC economy growth over
years. The economy hinges on the mining sector. This
dependence makes him vulnerable to price downturn.
That's been said, tackling that requires well-designed
policies.
