00:03:05The government of the Republic, led by Prime Minister
00:03:08ensure the financial sustainability Anatole Coliné Makoso, was this morning in parliament before
00:03:12deputies and senators to
00:03:14Finance Committee, the Director General of present the main lines of its policy,
00:03:17the main lines of its
00:03:20economic and social policy for the next three years. The
00:03:23content of this roadmap in this report by Joachan
00:03:27Miafunambungu.
00:03:31The government's development of the medium-term budget framework 2027/2029
00:03:35is part of the process of
00:03:38preparing the 2027 state
00:03:41issues related to the company's budget. It is taking place, said the Prime Minister, in
00:03:44an international context characterized by major
00:03:48uncertainties linked to geopolitical shocks, particularly
00:03:51in the Middle East and Ukraine. According to the
00:03:55latest global economic outlook
00:03:57IMF with a view to published by the International Monetary Fund.
00:04:00global growth is expected to reach 3.1%
00:04:03in 2026 and
00:04:063.4% in
00:04:08Under the leadership of the Vice-President of 2027, down from the average of
00:04:113.5% observed in 2024/2025.
00:04:15global inflation is expected to fall from 4.1% in
00:04:182025 to 4.7% in
00:04:212026 before falling back to 3.9%
00:04:25in 2027. These forecasts, slightly revised
00:04:29upwards, indicate the disinflation trend
00:04:32observed since the beginning of 2024 is
00:04:36slowing down. At the national
00:04:38role and mission of level, given the
00:04:41to pave the way for the nation's openness of our economy, characterized by a high level
00:04:44of imports, imported inflation
00:04:47constitutes a major challenge for the purchasing power of
00:04:50Congolese. That is why
00:04:53preparation of the draft finance law the government will sequence, the First Vice-President of resolutely pursue its
00:04:55policies to combat the high cost of living. This budget framework
00:04:59is nothing other than the implementation of the social
00:05:02their opinions on the main lines of the program translated into a government action plan that
00:05:05is based on the 10 priority actions for accelerating
00:05:08progress towards development. It is the whole set of these actions,
00:05:12written in the social
00:05:15the march towards development, which has been taken up and detailed in 20
00:05:19missions presented before the honorable deputies and which
00:05:23constitutes the roadmap for the five-year term
00:05:252027/2031, in other words, the backbone
00:05:29of the next national development plan, for
00:05:32which parliament will be consulted upstream of its
00:05:36elaboration. Over the next three years, the
00:05:39government, declared the Prime Minister, will accelerate
00:05:43the settlement of the domestic commercial debt. For
00:05:47Anatol Coliné Makoso, this budget
00:05:50framework is a contract of trust between the government and
00:05:53the nation. It is at the service of our sole
00:05:57compass, the acceleration of the march towards
00:06:01development, end of quote.
00:06:05Prelude to the elaboration of the 2027 finance
00:06:08law. Before the senators gathered in
00:06:11plenary session, Prime Minister Anatole Colin Makoso
00:06:14presented the economic and financial assumptions adopted by
00:06:18the executive for the coming year. This plenary session was
00:06:21chaired by Pierre Ngolo, President of the Senate. Report
00:06:24by Florent Angwele.
00:06:28Budget orientation debate, an exercise that
00:06:31allowed the Prime Minister, head of government Anatole Colony
00:06:34Makoso, to present the main lines of the budget policy for the coming
00:06:37years and the main economic assumptions that will guide
00:06:41the elaboration of the next draft finance law. Continuing his
00:06:45presentation, Anatole Colonel Makoso presented the country's
00:06:48macroeconomic perspectives, the forecasts of public revenues and
00:06:51expenditures, as well as the priorities adopted by the government for the
00:06:55coming years. These forecasts take into account both the government
00:06:58program pursuing the march towards development and the
00:07:02international economic context. The
00:07:04government, he continued, will take all necessary measures to
00:07:08initiate the debt reduction process and strengthen
00:07:11economic growth
00:07:15of the state. Allen the Colonel Makoso returns to the main
00:07:19objectives of the state for the coming years. After listening to him,
00:07:22the senators formulated 17 recommendations,
00:07:26this to strengthen the action of the government. The contribution of the
00:07:29Bretton Woods institutions for the realization of all these forecasts
00:07:32proves to be important to recall, Anatole Colony,
00:07:36Makoso. Still in the Senate, the Congolese
00:07:40postal sector continues to mobilize attention. The
00:07:44Economy and Finance Committee continued its cycle
00:07:47of hearings by receiving the Director General of Sopeco,
00:07:50the company of posts and savings of Congo,
00:07:53after having already heard the Minister of Posts,
00:07:56Telecommunications and Digital Economy, the Director
00:08:00General of the Postal Bank of Congo, as well as the postal unions.
00:08:04From these exchanges, a conclusion emerges: the establishment
00:08:07of a restructuring committee
00:08:10is necessary.
00:08:13The establishment of a restructuring committee is essential as a way
00:08:16out of the crisis. Find Florent Onguelé once
00:08:19again.
00:08:23Before the members of the Senate's Economy and
00:08:26Sopeco presented a status report on the company. She
00:08:30presented the main constraints faced by this company,
00:08:33notably financial difficulties, the decrease in
00:08:37the volume of traditional postal activities, due to digital
00:08:40transformation, the challenges related to... the modernization of
00:08:43infrastructures, as well as the recovery prospects initiated
00:08:46by this management. The exchanges with the senators also
00:08:50made it possible to address several
00:08:53governance, its economic viability, the quality of public
00:08:57postal service, the preservation of jobs and the
00:09:00strategies envisaged to adapt Sopeco to the new market
00:09:04requirements. The situation of Sopeco salaries,
00:09:07payment arrears, the difficulties experienced by
00:09:11Sopeco in meeting our expectations was of course
00:09:14to express the difficulties we encounter,
00:09:18difficulties that can be
00:09:21resolved by full and complete action by the state,
00:09:25the supervisory ministry. The members of this committee reaffirmed their
00:09:29commitment to the sustainability of this public enterprise, considered an essential
00:09:33link in the economic development of the postal sector.
00:09:36For them, one of the solutions to save Sopeco from this spiral is the establishment
00:09:40of a restructuring committee. This exchange is part of the
00:09:43feuilleton, we would call it the Sopeco
00:09:46feuilleton, and this is the soft landing we
00:09:50had. We started with
00:09:53the workers, so inter-union,
00:09:57it was necessary to talk about the most urgent
00:09:59and the short-term solutions are
00:10:03obtaining these 6 months of salary payment until the end of
00:10:07December and then
00:10:10it was necessary. now to have this meeting with
00:10:14the Director General to
00:10:17see if she adheres to this
00:10:20restructuring approach that was euh
00:10:24initiated by the Minister by establishing a
00:10:27restructuring committee. With this hearing, the Senate's Economy and
00:10:30Finance Committee now has a global idea of this situation.
00:10:34That's it.
00:10:36Then this press release from the
00:10:38Senate, the 2nd Secretary of the Senate informs the senators,
00:10:42staff and public that a plenary session
00:10:46dedicated to oral questions with debate will be held tomorrow,
00:10:49Friday, August 7, 2026, at
00:10:52sharp at the Senate's
00:10:55broadcast cycle. This press release is signed by Elizabeth
00:10:59Mappa.
00:11:03news, the budget orientation debate also
00:11:07took place in the National Assembly. A little earlier, before
00:11:10the Senate, the Prime Minister also underwent the same exercise
00:11:14in the National Assembly. Watch this
00:11:16report.
00:11:19From one chamber to another, in accordance with the provisions of the
00:11:23organic law relating to finance laws, which requires the
00:11:26government to present its ambitions to parliament in the context of
00:11:30conducting its economic and social policy for the next three
00:11:33years, Anatol Kolini Makosu and his entire
00:11:37government were before the deputies of the National
00:11:40Assembly. For the head of
00:11:43government, this 2027-2029 triennium
00:11:46is about consolidating the major macroeconomic and
00:11:49budgetary balances. In terms
00:11:53of macroeconomic balances, it will be a matter of finding the right
00:11:56balance between three imperatives:
00:12:00pursuing debt reduction to restore our room for maneuver and our
00:12:04credibility,
00:12:06ensuring the stabilization of the macroeconomic framework to maintain a
00:12:10favorable environment for investment
00:12:13and financing the basic infrastructures essential for our
00:12:17development as well as for the structural transformation of our
00:12:20economy. These are the main
00:12:23orientations of the state's action for the next three years to
00:12:27achieve these objectives:
00:12:33the tax base.
00:12:362. Controlling and rationalizing public
00:12:39spending.
00:12:43budgetary credibility. 4.
00:12:46Consolidating budget surpluses over the entire
00:12:49period.
00:12:52treasury and debt management.
00:12:58the performance and accountability of budget program
00:13:01managers. 7. Reducing
00:13:04and optimizing public debt. 8.
00:13:08Optimizing the management of budgetary risks.
00:13:129. Establishing safety cushions to strengthen the
00:13:15resilience of the national economy in the face of shocks.
00:13:1910. Continuing efforts to replenish foreign
00:13:22exchange reserves.
00:13:26Ultimately, the present medium-term budget framework
00:13:30aims to
00:13:33of the state, to reduce dependence on
00:13:37oil resources,
00:13:40to improve budgetary sincerity, and
00:13:43to make the program budget a true public management tool. The
00:13:47head of government wished to clarify to the honorable deputies
00:13:51that the government's financing strategy does not rely
00:13:55solely on market borrowing. The
00:13:58government also counts on budget support from technical and
00:14:01financial partners, notably the IMF, the World Bank, the
00:14:05African Development Bank, and the AFD, the French Development
00:14:08Agency. Their support will be a valuable
00:14:12contribution, which is why he pleaded before this
00:14:16other parliamentary chamber that
00:14:18the government continue discussions with the
00:14:22concluding a new program, this
00:14:25time focusing on resilience and
00:14:29sustainability.
00:14:33the National Assembly, Léon Alfrede Opimba, the
00:14:36presentation of the budget framework by Prime Minister Anatole Coliné
00:14:40Macoso and the report of the Economy and Finance
00:14:44Committee generated several reactions from the deputies. The
00:14:47debate was lively. Cyril Safubati tells us more in this
00:14:51report. At the Parliament Palace, the work
00:14:55of the budget orientation debate was in full swing under the authority of the
00:14:58First Vice-President of the National Assembly, Léon Alfredo Pimba.
00:15:02An important political step
00:15:06economic choices before the examination of the finance law, said Maurice
00:15:09Mavongu, President of the Economy Committee. The budget
00:15:12orientation debate is a political step in the
00:15:18for the N+1 fiscal year. This decisive
00:15:21step allows parliamentarians to express
00:15:27state budget over a period of 3 years. The budget
00:15:30orientation debate that is now
00:15:34opening will therefore make it possible to call upon
00:15:38the orientations proposed by the government, then
00:15:41the results already obtained, the financial
00:15:44constraints
00:15:47and the priorities of the populations we represent. At the rostrum, the Prime
00:15:51Minister, head of government, Anatol Coliné Macoso, presented
00:15:54the medium-term budget framework. The executive is relying
00:15:58on robust growth, raised to 5.2% in
00:16:012026, and a sustained momentum over the period
00:16:042027-2029, based
00:16:08on economic diversification, the settlement of domestic debt
00:16:12and rigor in the management of public data. But before getting to the heart of the matter, the
00:16:15economy committee scrutinized the documents submitted, raising
00:16:1911 major concerns: non-transmission to
00:16:22parliament of medium-term expenditure frameworks, by
00:16:25nature, by function and by
00:16:28ministry, in accordance with article 9, paragraph
00:16:312 of the organic law relating to finance
00:16:35laws. Financing strategy for the electricity and
00:16:43services, as well as the list of main projects to be
00:16:46financed in the next three
00:16:49years. These observations and the government's
00:16:53presentation immediately opened the way to a lively and direct
00:16:56debate in the chamber. But there is a real problem in our
00:17:00country today in our ecosystems.
00:17:04They are degraded
00:17:08everywhere, a
00:17:11gold.
00:17:14The populations would like to know if there is
00:17:19market in our country, because the spaces
00:17:22that are devastated are not restored. When Mr.
00:17:26Prime Minister talks about the growth rate of Congolese oil,
00:17:29I have the distinct impression
00:17:32that he does not present
00:17:34uh the... forestry
00:17:38exploitation, mining
00:17:40exploitation and even gas,
00:17:44as if our country no longer produced gas, as
00:17:48if our country no longer exploited wood, as if our
00:17:51country no longer exploited mines. What exactly
00:17:54is the projection for these three things? What is
00:17:57it exactly? These constructive exchanges testify to the
00:18:01vitality of parliamentary control. The government is now expected to translate
00:18:05its orientations into the
00:18:08budget. The 2027/2029
00:18:11budget framework projects average
00:18:14growth of 6.1% per year
00:18:18and revenues close to 3000 billion CFA
00:18:21francs. At the end of the
00:18:24the National Assembly, Léon Alfredo Pimba, summarized the
00:18:27work, highlighting the main concerns of the deputies for this
00:18:31first budget orientation debate of the new Kenkena.
00:18:35Let's hear from Cyril Safubati.
00:18:40Based on the new social project of the Head of State, Denis Sasso
00:18:44Ngeso, the acceleration of progress towards development, and
00:18:47despite an international environment marked by geopolitical
00:18:51uncertainties, the government displays resolute ambitions.
00:18:54For the period 2027-2029,
00:18:57the national economy is expected to show average growth of
00:19:006.1% per year, driven by the dynamics of the oil
00:19:04and non-oil sectors. Inflation, meanwhile, will remain under control,
00:19:08around 3%. On the public finance side, budget revenues
00:19:11will increase to 2971 billion CFA
00:19:15francs in 2027,
00:19:173060 billion CFA francs in 2028, and
00:19:213189.7 billion in 2029. In
00:19:24contrast, expenditures will be strictly controlled, falling from
00:19:282601.4 billion CFA francs in
00:19:312027 to 2530.4 billion
00:19:34in 2029, thus ensuring healthy
00:19:38finances and continued debt reduction. In response to the technical and sectoral concerns
00:19:42raised by the national representation, Prime Minister
00:19:45Anatole Colin Makoso provided precise clarifications on the
00:19:48executive's strategy. Despite the efforts we make in terms of
00:19:52financing or budgeting for social services
00:19:56sectors, we know that we must always
00:19:59continue these efforts, education,
00:20:03health, the problems we have at the CHU, the...
00:20:07problems posed by our universities are real
00:20:10problems, the problems posed by retirees are
00:20:14real problems, it's not necessarily a budgeting question, when you
00:20:18see the budgets, our intentions are good, the problems we have are treasury
00:20:21questions. Concerns welcomed by the National Assembly
00:20:24bureau. In closing this
00:20:28the National Assembly, Léon Alfredo Pimba, highlighted the relevance of the
00:20:31interpellations made on behalf of the populations. This session, as
00:20:35stated in the report:... that was read to us, fully
00:20:39integrates the will of the National Assembly to participate in
00:20:42the budget elaboration process. Important points
00:20:46were raised and acknowledged by the government. The issue of
00:20:50electricity must be taken into account, it is an important
00:20:53social issue. The issue of municipalization queues,
00:20:56there is the issue of recruitment in the public
00:20:59service, and finally, a question
00:21:03related to the deposit and consignment fund, the deposit and consignment
00:21:06fund. I would like to reassure the
00:21:09government that we will treat
00:21:12this issue with diligence. This first budget
00:21:16orientation debate of the new five-year term of Head of State Denis Sasso
00:21:20Ngeso is essentially an exercise in accountability and
00:21:24high foresight that outlines the future national
00:21:27development plan and resolutely commits the socio-economic
00:21:30future of
00:21:32Congo.
00:21:36Now, leaving parliament for the prime minister's office. Before his
00:21:39intervention in parliament a little earlier, Prime Minister Anatole
00:21:43Coliné Macoso met at the prime minister's office with the
00:21:47administrator of Congo at the African Development Bank,
00:21:51Registe La Couée des Rang. At the heart of their discussion was the issue of
00:21:54the partnership between Congo and this institution. More details in
00:21:58this report by Joachim
00:22:00Merfunambongo.
00:22:03The partnership between the Congolese government and the AfDB group
00:22:07is satisfactory, declared the Administrator for Congo
00:22:10at the AfDB, Regisse La Couederant, before
00:22:14continuing that there are still challenges to be overcome, and we are
00:22:17working with the authorities to
00:22:20overcome them. The first part was to congratulate the Congolese
00:22:23authorities following the organization of the annual meetings of the
00:22:27AfDB group which took place last May. So that was the
00:22:31first point. The second point, we also participated yesterday in
00:22:35the great agricultural fair of Congo and we also
00:22:38congratulate Congo for the perpetuation of this exercise given that
00:22:42it is the second edition and it is also
00:22:45important to know that at the African Development Bank, we support the
00:22:48agricultural sector through a project called the bag product
00:22:52which supports value chains. Another
00:22:55topic on which we exchanged with His Excellency the Prime
00:22:59Minister is the national development plan of
00:23:02Congo. Congo is preparing a new national development
00:23:05plan. Regarding this national
00:23:08plan, we suggested to the
00:23:11Congolese authorities to focus
00:23:14industrialization and economic diversification.
00:23:17And finally, we also exchanged with
00:23:21His Excellency the Prime Minister on the
00:23:24activities underway at the AfDB in favor
00:23:28of Congo, notably the preparation of future
00:23:32projects, particularly in the energy and transport
00:23:35sectors. So that's essentially what we
00:23:39discussed, and I'll conclude by simply
00:23:42saying that the relationship between the AfDB and
00:23:45Congo is strengthening more and more. That
00:23:49said, the African Development Bank remains committed
00:23:52to supporting Congo in the structuring of
00:23:56its projects. BGFI Bank is holding a series of
00:24:00board meetings of its subsidiaries in the CEMAC
00:24:04zone in Brazzaville. In the presence of the group's
00:24:07Director General, Henry Claude Oima, this series of
00:24:11strategic meetings is placed under the patronage of Jean Dominique
00:24:14Okemba, Chairman of the Board of BG Fiban Congo. These
00:24:18meetings aim to assess the performance of
00:24:22businesses and subsidiaries mid-term, but also to project
00:24:25new strategic orientations.
00:24:28heir report
00:24:30Banabelie:
00:24:35achieving good results is not the only ambition of BGF Bank
00:24:39Congo, it wants to be a bank that is always more resilient,
00:24:42more efficient, more innovative and more exemplary in terms of
00:24:46governance, gathered to evaluate the results of the first.
00:24:502026 and define the guidelines for the second semester, the
00:24:54directors of BGF Bank Congo ensure the financial
00:24:57solidity of the bank and the preservation of the interests of
00:25:01clients, partners and shareholders. Our
00:25:04collective responsibility consists less in
00:25:08noting the performances achieved than in
00:25:11appreciating their quality, their
00:25:15durability and their
00:25:17ability to prepare.
00:25:20the future, the various items on
00:25:23our agenda will allow us
00:25:26to fully exercise
00:25:29this broadcast, the follow-up of decisions taken
00:25:32during our previous
00:25:34session, the conclusions of the group's
00:25:38supervisory college, as well as the corrective
00:25:42measures proposed,
00:25:46the alignment of our strategy
00:25:49with: the BGFI
00:25:522030
00:25:54vision,
00:25:56the work of our specialized committees
00:26:00which constitute the first level
00:26:03of control of the council,
00:26:06the semi-annual financial results
00:26:10and the closing prospects
00:26:13fiscal year. From this meeting, it appears that the
00:26:17indicators for the first semester are open for BGF Bank
00:26:21Congo, which continues its growth trajectory and
00:26:24reaffirms its commitment to financing the national
00:26:28economy. The results of BJ Vibon
00:26:31Congo for... the first semester are
00:26:34in line with the budget and our forecasts for the year
00:26:372026, we will be beyond the
00:26:40budget, so we are absolutely delighted that Bijibank Congo
00:26:44is reclaiming its place, it is the country's first
00:26:48institution, and it continues to support
00:26:51economic operators, it continues to support
00:26:54institutions
00:26:58performance and achieving year-end objectives,
00:27:00the chairman of the board of directors is counting on the good
00:27:04execution of the recommendations adopted.
00:27:07I therefore invite the general management to continue with
00:27:11determination
00:27:13the implementation of the guidelines decided today,
00:27:17particularly those relating to
00:27:21the execution of the strategic plan
00:27:24aligned with BGFI
00:27:282030, the follow-up of recommendations from control bodies for
00:27:31risk management, the
00:27:34strengthening of asset
00:27:36quality, as well as the continuous
00:27:40improvement of our operational
00:27:44efficiency. The chairman of the board of directors of
00:27:47BGF Bank Congo, Jean-Dominique Okemba, invites all
00:27:51managers to work to
00:27:54ambition to offer each of its client segments
00:27:57tailored solutions and excellent service
00:28:00quality.
00:28:04It should also be noted that at the end of
00:28:08BG Fibon Congo, the president and CEO of the BG Fibank group,
00:28:12Henry Claude Ima, spoke about the
00:28:17the introduction of the institution to the BVMac, the Central African Securities
00:28:21Exchange.
00:28:23Listen:
00:28:27the group has decided to go public.
00:28:29First of all, it's very good news for
00:28:33the financial market of the sub-region, it's still the first financial group in the
00:28:36sub-region and it has now become the first
00:28:39capitalization of our financial market today, so it's an
00:28:43honor for all Gobg Fibank employees and also
00:28:47for our clients and our shareholders who trust us,
00:28:51so that's a first part, then we have a second part that we are currently
00:28:54implementing after the council and the general assembly that
00:28:58were held in Libreville, there we submitted the file to
00:29:02Kosumaf to get the new
00:29:06number that will allow us to launch the second
00:29:09part which is more important than the first part,
00:29:13plus the first part we mobilized nearly 45 billion
00:29:16and for the second part we plan to mobilize 80
00:29:20billion to sell Congo as a land of
00:29:23investment opportunity. This is the objective of a working
00:29:27session held yesterday at the Congolese representation in
00:29:30France. bringing together the director general of the investment promotion
00:29:33agency, Annick Patricia Mongo, the ambassador of
00:29:37Congo to France, Rodolphe Adada, as well as the economic
00:29:41advisors, now better equipped to convey this message.
00:29:44Gael Goma for more details.
00:29:47The Investment Promotion Agency (API)
00:29:51is deploying an unprecedented training program for
00:29:54diplomats internationally. The first key stage is Paris in
00:29:58France. The stated objective is to transform economic
00:30:02advisors into true negotiators with
00:30:05investors. They will act as key relays for
00:30:08the country, a vision of the agency carried by its general director Annick
00:30:12Patricia Mongo, who announced it during this preliminary
00:30:15exchange with the Ambassador of Congo to France,
00:30:18Rodolf Haddada, which allowed to frame the political
00:30:22and technical alignment between the agency
00:30:25and the diplomatic representation. During several hours of
00:30:29work, the diplomats were informed about the current realities
00:30:33of the business climate, the main axes of the development
00:30:36policy and sectoral opportunities and about the
00:30:40the agency. The economic advisors now have precise talking points
00:30:44to answer investors' questions to go to the
00:30:48French employers' association, chambers of commerce
00:30:50and the dynamic Congolese diaspora who are
00:30:54happy to undertake in Congo. We have a positive outlook
00:30:58and at the request of Mr.
