00:07:44economy. These are
00:07:47state action for the next three years to achieve
00:07:51these objectives:
00:07:57tax base;
00:08:002, control and rationalization of public
00:08:03expenditure;
00:08:07budgetary credibility.
00:08:094, consolidation of surpluses. over the entire
00:08:13period. 5, strengthening of
00:08:16treasury management and domestic debt
00:08:206 strengthening performance and
00:08:23accountability of budgetary program managers

00:08:39resilience of the national economy in the face of shocks.
00:08:4310: continuation of efforts to rebuild foreign
00:08:46exchange reserves.
00:08:50Ultimately, the present medium-term budgetary framework
00:08:53aims to guarantee the financial
00:08:57the state, to reduce dependence
00:09:01on oil resources,
00:09:04to improve budgetary sincerity, and
00:09:07to make the program budget a real public management tool. The
00:09:11Head of Government wished to clarify to the honorable deputies that
00:09:15the government's financing strategy does not
00:09:18rely solely on market borrowings. The
00:09:22government also counts on the budgetary support of technical
00:09:26and financial partners, notably the IMF, the World Bank, the
00:09:29African Development Bank and AFD, the French Development
00:09:32Agency. Their support will be of precious
00:09:36contribution, which is why he pleaded before
00:09:39this other chamber of Parliament that the
00:09:42government should continue discussions with the
00:09:46concluding a new program focusing this
00:09:49time on resilience and
00:09:53sustainability.
00:09:55Our apologies, you have just seen Prime Minister
00:09:59Anatole Coliné Makoso who was before the deputies for a
00:10:02directional debate. In the Senate, as I told you,
00:10:06the Congolese postal sector continues to mobilize the attention of
00:10:10senators, the economy and finance committee. continued its
00:10:13series of hearings by receiving the director general of
00:10:17Sopeco, the Post and Savings Company of Congo after
00:10:21having already heard the minister of posts and telecommunications.
00:10:25and the digital economy, report Florent
00:10:28Anguelle.
00:10:30Facing the members of the Senate's Economy and
00:10:34Sopeco gave an overview of the company. She
00:10:38presented the main constraints faced by this company,
00:10:41including financial difficulties, the decline in
00:10:45the volume of traditional postal activities, due to the
00:10:48digital transformation, the challenges related to the modernization of
00:10:51infrastructures, as well as the recovery prospects initiated
00:10:54by the direction. The discussions with the senators also
00:10:58made it possible to address several issues
00:11:01governance, its economic viability, the quality of public
00:11:05postal service, the preservation
00:11:08of jobs, and the strategies envisaged to adapt Sopeco to the
00:11:12new market requirements. The situation of Sopeco's salaries,
00:11:15payment delays, the difficulties
00:11:19faced by Sopeco to reassure our expectations
00:11:22was, of course, to express the difficulties that... we
00:11:25encounter difficulties that
00:11:28can be resolved by a full
00:11:31and complete action of the state, the supervisory ministry, the members
00:11:35of this commission reaffirmed their commitment to the sustainability of this public
00:11:39enterprise considered as an essential link in the economic
00:11:42development of the postal sector, for them, one of the solutions to save
00:11:46Sopeco from this spiral is the establishment of a restructuring
00:11:49committee, this exchange is part of
00:11:51a serial story we could call a serial story.
00:11:56and there it's the soft landing we had,
00:11:58we started with uh
00:12:01the workers so inter-union,
00:12:05we had to deal with the most urgent
00:12:07and the solutions so short-term it's
00:12:11the obtaining of these 6 months of salary payment until the end of
00:12:14December and then
00:12:18it was necessary now to have this meeting
00:12:22with the director general to uh
00:12:25see if she adheres to this
00:12:28approach of restructuring which was
00:12:30uh induced
00:12:34by the minister by setting up a restructuring
00:12:37committee with this hearing, the economy and finance committee of
00:12:41the Senate now has a global idea of this
00:12:43situation.
00:12:46the budgetary orientation debate also took place in the National
00:12:50Assembly under the leadership of its vice-president Léon
00:12:54Alfred. Pimba. The presentation of the budgetary framework
00:12:57by Prime Minister Anatole
00:13:01the Economy and Finance Committee provoked several reactions from
00:13:05deputies. Report Cyril
00:13:07Safubati. At the Parliament Palace, the work of the budgetary
00:13:11orientation debate was in full swing under the authority of the first
00:13:15vice-president of the National Assembly, Léon Alfredo Pimba.
00:13:18An important political step
00:13:22choices before the examination of the finance law. Supported by Maurice
00:13:25Mavongu, president of the Economy Committee: the budgetary
00:13:28orientation debate is a political step in the
00:13:32preparation of the finance bill for the N+1
00:13:35fiscal year. This crucial
00:13:37step allows parliamentarians to express their
00:13:43budget over a period of 3 years. The budgetary
00:13:46orientation debate which is now
00:13:50opening, will therefore make it possible to assess the
00:13:54orientations proposed. by the government along
00:13:57with the results already obtained, financial
00:14:00constraints
00:14:03and the priorities of the populations we represent. At the rostrum, the Prime
00:14:07Minister, Head of Government, Anatol Coliné Makusso, presented
00:14:10the medium-term budgetary framework. The executive is banking
00:14:14on robust growth of 5.2%
00:14:17in 2026, and sustained momentum over the period
00:14:212027-2029, based on economic diversification.
00:14:25the purification of domestic debt and rigor in the management of public
00:14:29funds, but before getting to the heart of the matter, the economy commission
00:14:32scrutinized the documents transmitted, raising 11 major
00:14:36concerns: non-transmission to parliament
00:14:39of medium-term spending frameworks, by nature,
00:14:43by function and by
00:14:46ministry, in accordance with article 9, paragraph
00:14:492 of the organic law relating to finance
00:14:52laws, financing strategy for the
00:14:56electricity and water
00:14:59improving access and quality of public services
00:15:03as well as the list of main projects to be
00:15:05financed in the next three years. These
00:15:09observations and the government's presentation immediately opened the
00:15:13way to a rich and direct debate in the assembly. but there is
00:15:16in our country today a real problem in our
00:15:20ecosystems,
00:15:22they are degraded everywhere.
00:15:27gold,
00:15:30the populations would like to know if there is
00:15:35our country. because the devastated
00:15:38spaces are not restored, when Mr.
00:15:42Prime Minister speaks of the growth rate of Congolese oil,
00:15:45I have the distinct
00:15:48impression that he does not
00:15:50present uh logging,
00:15:54mining
00:15:56and even gas,
00:16:00as if our country no longer produced gas, as
00:16:04if our country no longer exploited wood, as if our other
00:16:07country no longer exploited mines, what exactly
00:16:10is the projection for these three things, what exactly
00:16:14is it? constructive exchanges that testify to the
00:16:17vitality of parliamentary control, the government is now expected to translate
00:16:21these orientations into
00:16:24budget. This budgetary framework
00:16:272027/2029 targets an average growth
00:16:31of 6.1% per year and revenues close to
00:16:343000 billion CFA francs. At the end of the exchange,
00:16:38the first vice-president of the National Assembly, Léon Alfredo
00:16:41Opimba, summarized the work, highlighting the
00:16:45main concerns of the deputies. Once again,
00:16:48Cyryl Safubacci.
00:16:52Relying on the new social project of the head of state Denis
00:16:57the march towards development and despite an international
00:17:01environment marked by geopolitical uncertainties, the
00:17:04government displays resolute ambitions. For the period.
00:17:072027/2029, the national economy is expected to show
00:17:11an average growth of 6.1% per year,
00:17:14driven by the dynamics of the oil and non-oil sectors. Inflation,
00:17:18for its part, will remain controlled around 3%. On the public
00:17:21finance side, budgetary revenues will increase to reach
00:17:252971 billion CFA francs in
00:17:282027, 3060 billion CFA
00:17:31francs in 2028, and 3149.7
00:17:34billion in 2029. In contrast, expenditures... will be rigorously
00:17:38controlled, rising from 2601.4
00:17:41billion CFA francs in 2027 to
00:17:442730.4 billion in 2029, thus guaranteeing
00:17:48budget surpluses and the continuation of debt reduction. Faced
00:17:52with the technical and sectoral concerns raised by the national
00:17:55representation, Prime Minister Anatol Kolin Makoso was keen to
00:17:59provide precise clarifications on the executive's strategy. Despite the
00:18:02efforts we make in terms of financing or
00:18:05budgeting of...
00:18:07social services, we know that we must always
00:18:11continue these efforts, education,
00:18:15health, the problems we have at the CHU, the
00:18:19problems our university students pose, are
00:18:22real problems, the problems posed by retirees are
00:18:26real problems, it is not necessarily a question of budgeting, when you
00:18:30see the budgets, our intentions are good, the problems we have are questions of
00:18:33treasury, concerns welcomed by the bureau of the National Assembly, in
00:18:37closing this sequence, the first vice-president of the National Assembly Léon
00:18:41Alfredo Pimba underlined the relevance of the questions raised on behalf
00:18:45of the population. This session, it was recalled
00:18:48in the report that was read to us,
00:18:52the National Assembly to participate in the process
00:18:55of budget elaboration. Important points were raised,
00:18:59recognized by the government, the question of water and electricity, it must
00:19:03be taken into account, it is an important social issue. The
00:19:06question. of the queues of municipalization, there is the question of
00:19:10recruitment in the civil service and finally a question related
00:19:13to the deposit and consignment fund, the deposit and consignment
00:19:17fund, I would like to reassure
00:19:20the government that
00:19:22we will deal with this matter diligently, this first
00:19:26budgetary orientation debate of the new five-year term of Head of State Denis Sasso
00:19:30Ngesso is essentially an
00:19:33exercise of accountability and high foresight that
00:19:37traces the path of the future national development plan and resolutely
00:19:41commits the socio-economic future of
00:19:43Congo. At the Prime Minister's Office, the Prime
00:19:47Minister met with the administrator of Congo,
00:19:51at the African Development Bank, Regisse la
00:19:54Couée des Rang. At the heart of this meeting, the partnership
00:19:57between Congo and this development institution.
00:20:01Joichin,
00:20:05the partnership between the Congolese government, the Lababa group
00:20:09has been satisfactory, declared the administrator of Congo
00:20:12Alabade Regisse la Couée desérant before
00:20:15continuing that there are still challenges to be met and we are
00:20:19working with the Congolese authorities to meet them.
00:20:23The first part was to congratulate the Congolese authorities following
00:20:26the organization of the annual meetings of the Bad group which took
00:20:30place last May, so that was the
00:20:33first point, the second point, we also participated yesterday in the great
00:20:37agricultural fair of Congo and we also congratulate Congo
00:20:41for the perpetuation of this exercise given that it is the second
00:20:45edition and it should also be known that we at the African
00:20:48Development Bank. we support the agricultural sector through
00:20:52a project called the bag product and which supports value
00:20:56chains, another topic on which we discussed
00:20:59with His Excellency the Prime Minister and the national
00:21:02development plan of Congo. Congo is preparing a
00:21:06new national development plan.
00:21:08Regarding this national plan, we suggested
00:21:11to the Congolese authorities to
00:21:16industrialization and economic diversification.
00:21:20and finally we also discussed with His Excellency
00:21:24the Prime Minister about the ongoing activities
00:21:27at the bade for Congo
00:21:31and these include the preparation of future projects
00:21:35notably in the energy sector and the transport sector,
00:21:38so that is in essence the discussions we had
00:21:42and I will conclude by simply saying
00:21:45that the relations between the Abad and Congo are strengthening
00:21:49more and more, that said, the African Development
00:21:52Bank remains committed to supporting Congo
00:21:56in the structuring of these projects.
00:22:00Let's talk about economy again in this newscast, BGF Bank
00:22:03is holding a series of board of directors meetings
00:22:07of its subsidiaries in the CEC zone, in the presence of
00:22:10the group's general director Henri Claude Oima. These
00:22:14meetings aim to evaluate mid-term performance of the businesses
00:22:17and... subsidiaries, but also to project
00:22:21towards new strategic orientations.
00:22:24Report by Héritier
00:22:26Banabel.
00:22:30Achieving good results is not the only ambition of BGF Bank
00:22:34Congo. It aims to be a bank that is ever more resilient,
00:22:38more efficient, more innovative and more exemplary in terms of
00:22:41governance. Gathered to evaluate the results of the 1st half
00:22:45of 2026 and define the directives for the second
00:22:48half. The administrators of BGF Bank Congo ensure
00:22:52the bank's financial soundness and the preservation
00:22:55of the interests of clients, partners and
00:22:58shareholders. Our collective responsibility
00:23:02consists less of noting the performance
00:23:05achieved than of appreciating their
00:23:08quality, their durability and their
00:23:12capacity to prepare
00:23:15the future. The various points on our agenda
00:23:19will allow us to fully
00:23:23exercise this mission, the
00:23:26monitoring of decisions taken during our previous
00:23:30session, the conclusions of the group's
00:23:34supervisory college, as well as the proposed
00:23:38corrective measures,
00:23:41the alignment of our strategy
00:23:45with the BGFI
00:23:472000... 30
00:23:50vision the work of our specialized
00:23:53committees which constitute the first
00:23:56level of control of the
00:24:00council, the financial results
00:24:04semi-annual and the
00:24:09prospects for the fiscal year. From this meeting, it appears that the
00:24:12first-half indicators are open for BJF Bank
00:24:16Congo, which continues its growth trajectory and
00:24:20reaffirms its commitment to financing the national
00:24:23economy. The results of BG Fibank
00:24:26Congo for the first half are
00:24:30in line with the budget and our forecasts for the year
00:24:332026, we will be beyond
00:24:36the budget, so we are absolutely delighted that the Bijuban Congo
00:24:39is reclaiming its place, which is the country's first
00:24:43institution, and that it continues to support
00:24:47economic operators. It continues to support... and institutions within the appreciation
00:24:50of mid-term performance and achievement
00:24:53of year-end objectives,
00:24:57the Chairman of the Board of Directors counts on the proper
00:25:00execution of the recommendations retained.
00:25:02I therefore invite the general management to pursue with
00:25:06determination the implementation of the guidelines
00:25:10adopted today,
00:25:12particularly those relating to
00:25:16the execution of the strategic plan aligned
00:25:19with... BGFI 2030, to the monitoring
00:25:23of recommendations from control bodies, to
00:25:27risk management, to
00:25:30strengthening the quality of
00:25:32assets, as well as to the continuous
00:25:35improvement of our operational
00:25:39efficiency. The Chairman of the Board of Directors of
00:25:43BJF Bank Congo, Jean-Dominique Okemba, invites all
00:25:46managers to work to maintain the institution's ambition
00:25:50to offer each of its customer segments
00:25:52tailored solutions and excellent service
00:25:56quality.
00:26:02Denis Sassou Nguesso will
00:26:05the tractor assembly plant installed in the Malouku industrial
00:26:09zone on August 11th. This plant has a
00:26:12production capacity of 10 tractors per day. We bring
00:26:16you behind the scenes of this factory in this report by
00:26:19Célestin O'Cano Yerika. Agriculture
00:26:22in a broad sense is the central pillar of the economic
00:26:26diversification strategy championed by the
00:26:29President of the Republic Denis Sassou Nguesso. Faced with the
00:26:32country's dependence on oil, the head of state has
00:26:36made agriculture one of the absolute priorities of his
00:26:40development program. This political
00:26:43ambition relies on mechanization to
00:26:48work, to retain rural populations and to make
00:26:52agricultural professions attractive to young people. Eco
00:26:55Kamaco, a mixed Sino-Congolese
00:26:58public limited company specializing in the assembly and
00:27:01manufacturing of tractors and agricultural
00:27:04equipment, fully embraces
00:27:08state Denis Sassou Nguesso, who places mechanization at
00:27:12the center of his agricultural policy. The factory
00:27:15is located in the Malouku Industrial and Commercial Park
00:27:19within the special economic zone, a factory
00:27:22that is designed to assemble 10 tractors per
00:27:25day, destined for the Congolese market, but also for
00:27:29export to Central Africa.
00:27:32Engineer Liu Ziozung explains
00:27:35the assembly line process.
00:27:48First the tank, the carburetor, after
00:27:52it will continue
00:27:54to advance, it also has the seat
00:27:58installed, the cabin, the c.
00:28:02the hood, yes, after it
00:28:06still has the footrest, the
00:28:09binou, yes, the last, the
00:28:12post, meaning we say it assembled
00:28:15twelve, we will go out, we
00:28:17do, yes, meaning this
00:28:21three hours, it's already finished, we have made all the
00:28:24preparations to welcome the
00:28:27President's visit, the main objective
00:28:31pursued by Echo Maco by CEO Willy and Toka
00:28:34is to mechanize national agriculture to increase
00:28:38productivity and reduce food
00:28:42imports. The agricultural machinery engineer Eli
00:28:45Massamba appeals to agricultural operators. It's
00:28:49really, given the price, it's the tactic that will not be too expensive, it will be within the reach
00:28:53of practically all Congolese who want to do agricultural mechanization well. We
00:28:57have three qualities of tractors here: the first quality at
00:29:0075 horsepower, there is that of... horsepower and 120
00:29:03horsepower and so with these powers you are able to
00:29:07mechanize agricultural work correctly, whether it is, well, it
00:29:10all depends on the pedology, when you are on the plateau it's sand so
00:29:14any tractor can work on the plateau but in the Buenza, the
00:29:18Niari, it's from 100 horsepower and 120 horsepower and these tractors are
00:29:21also available at Eco Kamako here. This assembly
00:29:24plant was officially received by the
00:29:28government in April 2023 and the
00:29:31company was officially approved under the special
00:29:34economic zones regime in May
00:29:372026 for a period of 15 years,
00:29:39renewable. It's a public-private
00:29:43partnership. Editor-in-chief Amene

00:29:50you. This is the end of this edition, thank you for watching,
