[00:03:05] The government of the Republic, led by Prime Minister
[00:03:08] ensure the financial sustainability Anatole Coliné Makoso, was this morning in parliament before
[00:03:12] deputies and senators to
[00:03:14] Finance Committee, the Director General of present the main lines of its policy,
[00:03:17] the main lines of its
[00:03:20] economic and social policy for the next three years. The
[00:03:23] content of this roadmap in this report by Joachan
[00:03:27] Miafunambungu.
[00:03:31] The government's development of the medium-term budget framework 2027/2029
[00:03:35] is part of the process of
[00:03:38] preparing the 2027 state
[00:03:41] issues related to the company's budget. It is taking place, said the Prime Minister, in
[00:03:44] an international context characterized by major
[00:03:48] uncertainties linked to geopolitical shocks, particularly
[00:03:51] in the Middle East and Ukraine. According to the
[00:03:55] latest global economic outlook
[00:03:57] IMF with a view to published by the International Monetary Fund.
[00:04:00] global growth is expected to reach 3.1%
[00:04:03] in 2026 and
[00:04:06] 3.4% in
[00:04:08] Under the leadership of the Vice-President of 2027, down from the average of
[00:04:11] 3.5% observed in 2024/2025.
[00:04:15] global inflation is expected to fall from 4.1% in
[00:04:18] 2025 to 4.7% in
[00:04:21] 2026 before falling back to 3.9%
[00:04:25] in 2027. These forecasts, slightly revised
[00:04:29] upwards, indicate the disinflation trend
[00:04:32] observed since the beginning of 2024 is
[00:04:36] slowing down. At the national
[00:04:38] role and mission of level, given the
[00:04:41] to pave the way for the nation's openness of our economy, characterized by a high level
[00:04:44] of imports, imported inflation
[00:04:47] constitutes a major challenge for the purchasing power of
[00:04:50] Congolese. That is why
[00:04:53] preparation of the draft finance law the government will sequence, the First Vice-President of resolutely pursue its
[00:04:55] policies to combat the high cost of living. This budget framework
[00:04:59] is nothing other than the implementation of the social
[00:05:02] their opinions on the main lines of the program translated into a government action plan that
[00:05:05] is based on the 10 priority actions for accelerating
[00:05:08] progress towards development. It is the whole set of these actions,
[00:05:12] written in the social
[00:05:15] the march towards development, which has been taken up and detailed in 20
[00:05:19] missions presented before the honorable deputies and which
[00:05:23] constitutes the roadmap for the five-year term
[00:05:25] 2027/2031, in other words, the backbone
[00:05:29] of the next national development plan, for
[00:05:32] which parliament will be consulted upstream of its
[00:05:36] elaboration. Over the next three years, the
[00:05:39] government, declared the Prime Minister, will accelerate
[00:05:43] the settlement of the domestic commercial debt. For
[00:05:47] Anatol Coliné Makoso, this budget
[00:05:50] framework is a contract of trust between the government and
[00:05:53] the nation. It is at the service of our sole
[00:05:57] compass, the acceleration of the march towards
[00:06:01] development, end of quote.
[00:06:05] Prelude to the elaboration of the 2027 finance
[00:06:08] law. Before the senators gathered in
[00:06:11] plenary session, Prime Minister Anatole Colin Makoso
[00:06:14] presented the economic and financial assumptions adopted by
[00:06:18] the executive for the coming year. This plenary session was
[00:06:21] chaired by Pierre Ngolo, President of the Senate. Report
[00:06:24] by Florent Angwele.
[00:06:28] Budget orientation debate, an exercise that
[00:06:31] allowed the Prime Minister, head of government Anatole Colony
[00:06:34] Makoso, to present the main lines of the budget policy for the coming
[00:06:37] years and the main economic assumptions that will guide
[00:06:41] the elaboration of the next draft finance law. Continuing his
[00:06:45] presentation, Anatole Colonel Makoso presented the country's
[00:06:48] macroeconomic perspectives, the forecasts of public revenues and
[00:06:51] expenditures, as well as the priorities adopted by the government for the
[00:06:55] coming years. These forecasts take into account both the government
[00:06:58] program pursuing the march towards development and the
[00:07:02] international economic context. The
[00:07:04] government, he continued, will take all necessary measures to
[00:07:08] initiate the debt reduction process and strengthen
[00:07:11] economic growth
[00:07:15] of the state. Allen the Colonel Makoso returns to the main
[00:07:19] objectives of the state for the coming years. After listening to him,
[00:07:22] the senators formulated 17 recommendations,
[00:07:26] this to strengthen the action of the government. The contribution of the
[00:07:29] Bretton Woods institutions for the realization of all these forecasts
[00:07:32] proves to be important to recall, Anatole Colony,
[00:07:36] Makoso. Still in the Senate, the Congolese
[00:07:40] postal sector continues to mobilize attention. The
[00:07:44] Economy and Finance Committee continued its cycle
[00:07:47] of hearings by receiving the Director General of Sopeco,
[00:07:50] the company of posts and savings of Congo,
[00:07:53] after having already heard the Minister of Posts,
[00:07:56] Telecommunications and Digital Economy, the Director
[00:08:00] General of the Postal Bank of Congo, as well as the postal unions.
[00:08:04] From these exchanges, a conclusion emerges: the establishment
[00:08:07] of a restructuring committee
[00:08:10] is necessary.
[00:08:13] The establishment of a restructuring committee is essential as a way
[00:08:16] out of the crisis. Find Florent Onguelé once
[00:08:19] again.
[00:08:23] Before the members of the Senate's Economy and
[00:08:26] Sopeco presented a status report on the company. She
[00:08:30] presented the main constraints faced by this company,
[00:08:33] notably financial difficulties, the decrease in
[00:08:37] the volume of traditional postal activities, due to digital
[00:08:40] transformation, the challenges related to... the modernization of
[00:08:43] infrastructures, as well as the recovery prospects initiated
[00:08:46] by this management. The exchanges with the senators also
[00:08:50] made it possible to address several
[00:08:53] governance, its economic viability, the quality of public
[00:08:57] postal service, the preservation of jobs and the
[00:09:00] strategies envisaged to adapt Sopeco to the new market
[00:09:04] requirements. The situation of Sopeco salaries,
[00:09:07] payment arrears, the difficulties experienced by
[00:09:11] Sopeco in meeting our expectations was of course
[00:09:14] to express the difficulties we encounter,
[00:09:18] difficulties that can be
[00:09:21] resolved by full and complete action by the state,
[00:09:25] the supervisory ministry. The members of this committee reaffirmed their
[00:09:29] commitment to the sustainability of this public enterprise, considered an essential
[00:09:33] link in the economic development of the postal sector.
[00:09:36] For them, one of the solutions to save Sopeco from this spiral is the establishment
[00:09:40] of a restructuring committee. This exchange is part of the
[00:09:43] feuilleton, we would call it the Sopeco
[00:09:46] feuilleton, and this is the soft landing we
[00:09:50] had. We started with
[00:09:53] the workers, so inter-union,
[00:09:57] it was necessary to talk about the most urgent
[00:09:59] and the short-term solutions are
[00:10:03] obtaining these 6 months of salary payment until the end of
[00:10:07] December and then
[00:10:10] it was necessary. now to have this meeting with
[00:10:14] the Director General to
[00:10:17] see if she adheres to this
[00:10:20] restructuring approach that was euh
[00:10:24] initiated by the Minister by establishing a
[00:10:27] restructuring committee. With this hearing, the Senate's Economy and
[00:10:30] Finance Committee now has a global idea of this situation.
[00:10:34] That's it.
[00:10:36] Then this press release from the
[00:10:38] Senate, the 2nd Secretary of the Senate informs the senators,
[00:10:42] staff and public that a plenary session
[00:10:46] dedicated to oral questions with debate will be held tomorrow,
[00:10:49] Friday, August 7, 2026, at
[00:10:52] sharp at the Senate's
[00:10:55] broadcast cycle. This press release is signed by Elizabeth
[00:10:59] Mappa.
[00:11:03] news, the budget orientation debate also
[00:11:07] took place in the National Assembly. A little earlier, before
[00:11:10] the Senate, the Prime Minister also underwent the same exercise
[00:11:14] in the National Assembly. Watch this
[00:11:16] report.
[00:11:19] From one chamber to another, in accordance with the provisions of the
[00:11:23] organic law relating to finance laws, which requires the
[00:11:26] government to present its ambitions to parliament in the context of
[00:11:30] conducting its economic and social policy for the next three
[00:11:33] years, Anatol Kolini Makosu and his entire
[00:11:37] government were before the deputies of the National
[00:11:40] Assembly. For the head of
[00:11:43] government, this 2027-2029 triennium
[00:11:46] is about consolidating the major macroeconomic and
[00:11:49] budgetary balances. In terms
[00:11:53] of macroeconomic balances, it will be a matter of finding the right
[00:11:56] balance between three imperatives:
[00:12:00] pursuing debt reduction to restore our room for maneuver and our
[00:12:04] credibility,
[00:12:06] ensuring the stabilization of the macroeconomic framework to maintain a
[00:12:10] favorable environment for investment
[00:12:13] and financing the basic infrastructures essential for our
[00:12:17] development as well as for the structural transformation of our
[00:12:20] economy. These are the main
[00:12:23] orientations of the state's action for the next three years to
[00:12:27] achieve these objectives:
[00:12:33] the tax base.
[00:12:36] 2. Controlling and rationalizing public
[00:12:39] spending.
[00:12:43] budgetary credibility. 4.
[00:12:46] Consolidating budget surpluses over the entire
[00:12:49] period.
[00:12:52] treasury and debt management.
[00:12:58] the performance and accountability of budget program
[00:13:01] managers. 7. Reducing
[00:13:04] and optimizing public debt. 8.
[00:13:08] Optimizing the management of budgetary risks.
[00:13:12] 9. Establishing safety cushions to strengthen the
[00:13:15] resilience of the national economy in the face of shocks.
[00:13:19] 10. Continuing efforts to replenish foreign
[00:13:22] exchange reserves.
[00:13:26] Ultimately, the present medium-term budget framework
[00:13:30] aims to
[00:13:33] of the state, to reduce dependence on
[00:13:37] oil resources,
[00:13:40] to improve budgetary sincerity, and
[00:13:43] to make the program budget a true public management tool. The
[00:13:47] head of government wished to clarify to the honorable deputies
[00:13:51] that the government's financing strategy does not rely
[00:13:55] solely on market borrowing. The
[00:13:58] government also counts on budget support from technical and
[00:14:01] financial partners, notably the IMF, the World Bank, the
[00:14:05] African Development Bank, and the AFD, the French Development
[00:14:08] Agency. Their support will be a valuable
[00:14:12] contribution, which is why he pleaded before this
[00:14:16] other parliamentary chamber that
[00:14:18] the government continue discussions with the
[00:14:22] concluding a new program, this
[00:14:25] time focusing on resilience and
[00:14:29] sustainability.
[00:14:33] the National Assembly, Léon Alfrede Opimba, the
[00:14:36] presentation of the budget framework by Prime Minister Anatole Coliné
[00:14:40] Macoso and the report of the Economy and Finance
[00:14:44] Committee generated several reactions from the deputies. The
[00:14:47] debate was lively. Cyril Safubati tells us more in this
[00:14:51] report. At the Parliament Palace, the work
[00:14:55] of the budget orientation debate was in full swing under the authority of the
[00:14:58] First Vice-President of the National Assembly, Léon Alfredo Pimba.
[00:15:02] An important political step
[00:15:06] economic choices before the examination of the finance law, said Maurice
[00:15:09] Mavongu, President of the Economy Committee. The budget
[00:15:12] orientation debate is a political step in the
[00:15:18] for the N+1 fiscal year. This decisive
[00:15:21] step allows parliamentarians to express
[00:15:27] state budget over a period of 3 years. The budget
[00:15:30] orientation debate that is now
[00:15:34] opening will therefore make it possible to call upon
[00:15:38] the orientations proposed by the government, then
[00:15:41] the results already obtained, the financial
[00:15:44] constraints
[00:15:47] and the priorities of the populations we represent. At the rostrum, the Prime
[00:15:51] Minister, head of government, Anatol Coliné Macoso, presented
[00:15:54] the medium-term budget framework. The executive is relying
[00:15:58] on robust growth, raised to 5.2% in
[00:16:01] 2026, and a sustained momentum over the period
[00:16:04] 2027-2029, based
[00:16:08] on economic diversification, the settlement of domestic debt
[00:16:12] and rigor in the management of public data. But before getting to the heart of the matter, the
[00:16:15] economy committee scrutinized the documents submitted, raising
[00:16:19] 11 major concerns: non-transmission to
[00:16:22] parliament of medium-term expenditure frameworks, by
[00:16:25] nature, by function and by
[00:16:28] ministry, in accordance with article 9, paragraph
[00:16:31] 2 of the organic law relating to finance
[00:16:35] laws. Financing strategy for the electricity and
[00:16:43] services, as well as the list of main projects to be
[00:16:46] financed in the next three
[00:16:49] years. These observations and the government's
[00:16:53] presentation immediately opened the way to a lively and direct
[00:16:56] debate in the chamber. But there is a real problem in our
[00:17:00] country today in our ecosystems.
[00:17:04] They are degraded
[00:17:08] everywhere, a
[00:17:11] gold.
[00:17:14] The populations would like to know if there is
[00:17:19] market in our country, because the spaces
[00:17:22] that are devastated are not restored. When Mr.
[00:17:26] Prime Minister talks about the growth rate of Congolese oil,
[00:17:29] I have the distinct impression
[00:17:32] that he does not present
[00:17:34] uh the... forestry
[00:17:38] exploitation, mining
[00:17:40] exploitation and even gas,
[00:17:44] as if our country no longer produced gas, as
[00:17:48] if our country no longer exploited wood, as if our
[00:17:51] country no longer exploited mines. What exactly
[00:17:54] is the projection for these three things? What is
[00:17:57] it exactly? These constructive exchanges testify to the
[00:18:01] vitality of parliamentary control. The government is now expected to translate
[00:18:05] its orientations into the
[00:18:08] budget. The 2027/2029
[00:18:11] budget framework projects average
[00:18:14] growth of 6.1% per year
[00:18:18] and revenues close to 3000 billion CFA
[00:18:21] francs. At the end of the
[00:18:24] the National Assembly, Léon Alfredo Pimba, summarized the
[00:18:27] work, highlighting the main concerns of the deputies for this
[00:18:31] first budget orientation debate of the new Kenkena.
[00:18:35] Let's hear from Cyril Safubati.
[00:18:40] Based on the new social project of the Head of State, Denis Sasso
[00:18:44] Ngeso, the acceleration of progress towards development, and
[00:18:47] despite an international environment marked by geopolitical
[00:18:51] uncertainties, the government displays resolute ambitions.
[00:18:54] For the period 2027-2029,
[00:18:57] the national economy is expected to show average growth of
[00:19:00] 6.1% per year, driven by the dynamics of the oil
[00:19:04] and non-oil sectors. Inflation, meanwhile, will remain under control,
[00:19:08] around 3%. On the public finance side, budget revenues
[00:19:11] will increase to 2971 billion CFA
[00:19:15] francs in 2027,
[00:19:17] 3060 billion CFA francs in 2028, and
[00:19:21] 3189.7 billion in 2029. In
[00:19:24] contrast, expenditures will be strictly controlled, falling from
[00:19:28] 2601.4 billion CFA francs in
[00:19:31] 2027 to 2530.4 billion
[00:19:34] in 2029, thus ensuring healthy
[00:19:38] finances and continued debt reduction. In response to the technical and sectoral concerns
[00:19:42] raised by the national representation, Prime Minister
[00:19:45] Anatole Colin Makoso provided precise clarifications on the
[00:19:48] executive's strategy. Despite the efforts we make in terms of
[00:19:52] financing or budgeting for social services
[00:19:56] sectors, we know that we must always
[00:19:59] continue these efforts, education,
[00:20:03] health, the problems we have at the CHU, the...
[00:20:07] problems posed by our universities are real
[00:20:10] problems, the problems posed by retirees are
[00:20:14] real problems, it's not necessarily a budgeting question, when you
[00:20:18] see the budgets, our intentions are good, the problems we have are treasury
[00:20:21] questions. Concerns welcomed by the National Assembly
[00:20:24] bureau. In closing this
[00:20:28] the National Assembly, Léon Alfredo Pimba, highlighted the relevance of the
[00:20:31] interpellations made on behalf of the populations. This session, as
[00:20:35] stated in the report:... that was read to us, fully
[00:20:39] integrates the will of the National Assembly to participate in
[00:20:42] the budget elaboration process. Important points
[00:20:46] were raised and acknowledged by the government. The issue of
[00:20:50] electricity must be taken into account, it is an important
[00:20:53] social issue. The issue of municipalization queues,
[00:20:56] there is the issue of recruitment in the public
[00:20:59] service, and finally, a question
[00:21:03] related to the deposit and consignment fund, the deposit and consignment
[00:21:06] fund. I would like to reassure the
[00:21:09] government that we will treat
[00:21:12] this issue with diligence. This first budget
[00:21:16] orientation debate of the new five-year term of Head of State Denis Sasso
[00:21:20] Ngeso is essentially an exercise in accountability and
[00:21:24] high foresight that outlines the future national
[00:21:27] development plan and resolutely commits the socio-economic
[00:21:30] future of
[00:21:32] Congo.
[00:21:36] Now, leaving parliament for the prime minister's office. Before his
[00:21:39] intervention in parliament a little earlier, Prime Minister Anatole
[00:21:43] Coliné Macoso met at the prime minister's office with the
[00:21:47] administrator of Congo at the African Development Bank,
[00:21:51] Registe La Couée des Rang. At the heart of their discussion was the issue of
[00:21:54] the partnership between Congo and this institution. More details in
[00:21:58] this report by Joachim
[00:22:00] Merfunambongo.
[00:22:03] The partnership between the Congolese government and the AfDB group
[00:22:07] is satisfactory, declared the Administrator for Congo
[00:22:10] at the AfDB, Regisse La Couederant, before
[00:22:14] continuing that there are still challenges to be overcome, and we are
[00:22:17] working with the authorities to
[00:22:20] overcome them. The first part was to congratulate the Congolese
[00:22:23] authorities following the organization of the annual meetings of the
[00:22:27] AfDB group which took place last May. So that was the
[00:22:31] first point. The second point, we also participated yesterday in
[00:22:35] the great agricultural fair of Congo and we also
[00:22:38] congratulate Congo for the perpetuation of this exercise given that
[00:22:42] it is the second edition and it is also
[00:22:45] important to know that at the African Development Bank, we support the
[00:22:48] agricultural sector through a project called the bag product
[00:22:52] which supports value chains. Another
[00:22:55] topic on which we exchanged with His Excellency the Prime
[00:22:59] Minister is the national development plan of
[00:23:02] Congo. Congo is preparing a new national development
[00:23:05] plan. Regarding this national
[00:23:08] plan, we suggested to the
[00:23:11] Congolese authorities to focus
[00:23:14] industrialization and economic diversification.
[00:23:17] And finally, we also exchanged with
[00:23:21] His Excellency the Prime Minister on the
[00:23:24] activities underway at the AfDB in favor
[00:23:28] of Congo, notably the preparation of future
[00:23:32] projects, particularly in the energy and transport
[00:23:35] sectors. So that's essentially what we
[00:23:39] discussed, and I'll conclude by simply
[00:23:42] saying that the relationship between the AfDB and
[00:23:45] Congo is strengthening more and more. That
[00:23:49] said, the African Development Bank remains committed
[00:23:52] to supporting Congo in the structuring of
[00:23:56] its projects. BGFI Bank is holding a series of
[00:24:00] board meetings of its subsidiaries in the CEMAC
[00:24:04] zone in Brazzaville. In the presence of the group's
[00:24:07] Director General, Henry Claude Oima, this series of
[00:24:11] strategic meetings is placed under the patronage of Jean Dominique
[00:24:14] Okemba, Chairman of the Board of BG Fiban Congo. These
[00:24:18] meetings aim to assess the performance of
[00:24:22] businesses and subsidiaries mid-term, but also to project
[00:24:25] new strategic orientations.
[00:24:28] heir report
[00:24:30] Banabelie:
[00:24:35] achieving good results is not the only ambition of BGF Bank
[00:24:39] Congo, it wants to be a bank that is always more resilient,
[00:24:42] more efficient, more innovative and more exemplary in terms of
[00:24:46] governance, gathered to evaluate the results of the first.
[00:24:50] 2026 and define the guidelines for the second semester, the
[00:24:54] directors of BGF Bank Congo ensure the financial
[00:24:57] solidity of the bank and the preservation of the interests of
[00:25:01] clients, partners and shareholders. Our
[00:25:04] collective responsibility consists less in
[00:25:08] noting the performances achieved than in
[00:25:11] appreciating their quality, their
[00:25:15] durability and their
[00:25:17] ability to prepare.
[00:25:20] the future, the various items on
[00:25:23] our agenda will allow us
[00:25:26] to fully exercise
[00:25:29] this broadcast, the follow-up of decisions taken
[00:25:32] during our previous
[00:25:34] session, the conclusions of the group's
[00:25:38] supervisory college, as well as the corrective
[00:25:42] measures proposed,
[00:25:46] the alignment of our strategy
[00:25:49] with: the BGFI
[00:25:52] 2030
[00:25:54] vision,
[00:25:56] the work of our specialized committees
[00:26:00] which constitute the first level
[00:26:03] of control of the council,
[00:26:06] the semi-annual financial results
[00:26:10] and the closing prospects
[00:26:13] fiscal year. From this meeting, it appears that the
[00:26:17] indicators for the first semester are open for BGF Bank
[00:26:21] Congo, which continues its growth trajectory and
[00:26:24] reaffirms its commitment to financing the national
[00:26:28] economy. The results of BJ Vibon
[00:26:31] Congo for... the first semester are
[00:26:34] in line with the budget and our forecasts for the year
[00:26:37] 2026, we will be beyond the
[00:26:40] budget, so we are absolutely delighted that Bijibank Congo
[00:26:44] is reclaiming its place, it is the country's first
[00:26:48] institution, and it continues to support
[00:26:51] economic operators, it continues to support
[00:26:54] institutions
[00:26:58] performance and achieving year-end objectives,
[00:27:00] the chairman of the board of directors is counting on the good
[00:27:04] execution of the recommendations adopted.
[00:27:07] I therefore invite the general management to continue with
[00:27:11] determination
[00:27:13] the implementation of the guidelines decided today,
[00:27:17] particularly those relating to
[00:27:21] the execution of the strategic plan
[00:27:24] aligned with BGFI
[00:27:28] 2030, the follow-up of recommendations from control bodies for
[00:27:31] risk management, the
[00:27:34] strengthening of asset
[00:27:36] quality, as well as the continuous
[00:27:40] improvement of our operational
[00:27:44] efficiency. The chairman of the board of directors of
[00:27:47] BGF Bank Congo, Jean-Dominique Okemba, invites all
[00:27:51] managers to work to
[00:27:54] ambition to offer each of its client segments
[00:27:57] tailored solutions and excellent service
[00:28:00] quality.
[00:28:04] It should also be noted that at the end of
[00:28:08] BG Fibon Congo, the president and CEO of the BG Fibank group,
[00:28:12] Henry Claude Ima, spoke about the
[00:28:17] the introduction of the institution to the BVMac, the Central African Securities
[00:28:21] Exchange.
[00:28:23] Listen:
[00:28:27] the group has decided to go public.
[00:28:29] First of all, it's very good news for
[00:28:33] the financial market of the sub-region, it's still the first financial group in the
[00:28:36] sub-region and it has now become the first
[00:28:39] capitalization of our financial market today, so it's an
[00:28:43] honor for all Gobg Fibank employees and also
[00:28:47] for our clients and our shareholders who trust us,
[00:28:51] so that's a first part, then we have a second part that we are currently
[00:28:54] implementing after the council and the general assembly that
[00:28:58] were held in Libreville, there we submitted the file to
[00:29:02] Kosumaf to get the new
[00:29:06] number that will allow us to launch the second
[00:29:09] part which is more important than the first part,
[00:29:13] plus the first part we mobilized nearly 45 billion
[00:29:16] and for the second part we plan to mobilize 80
[00:29:20] billion to sell Congo as a land of
[00:29:23] investment opportunity. This is the objective of a working
[00:29:27] session held yesterday at the Congolese representation in
[00:29:30] France. bringing together the director general of the investment promotion
[00:29:33] agency, Annick Patricia Mongo, the ambassador of
[00:29:37] Congo to France, Rodolphe Adada, as well as the economic
[00:29:41] advisors, now better equipped to convey this message.
[00:29:44] Gael Goma for more details.
[00:29:47] The Investment Promotion Agency (API)
[00:29:51] is deploying an unprecedented training program for
[00:29:54] diplomats internationally. The first key stage is Paris in
[00:29:58] France. The stated objective is to transform economic
[00:30:02] advisors into true negotiators with
[00:30:05] investors. They will act as key relays for
[00:30:08] the country, a vision of the agency carried by its general director Annick
[00:30:12] Patricia Mongo, who announced it during this preliminary
[00:30:15] exchange with the Ambassador of Congo to France,
[00:30:18] Rodolf Haddada, which allowed to frame the political
[00:30:22] and technical alignment between the agency
[00:30:25] and the diplomatic representation. During several hours of
[00:30:29] work, the diplomats were informed about the current realities
[00:30:33] of the business climate, the main axes of the development
[00:30:36] policy and sectoral opportunities and about the
[00:30:40] the agency. The economic advisors now have precise talking points
[00:30:44] to answer investors' questions to go to the
[00:30:48] French employers' association, chambers of commerce
[00:30:50] and the dynamic Congolese diaspora who are
[00:30:54] happy to undertake in Congo. We have a positive outlook
[00:30:58] and at the request of Mr.
