The Republic of the Congo’s economy is resource-rich, with oil dominating exports and revenues. Efforts to diversify into agriculture, forestry, and mining are underway but hampered by corruption and infrastructure challenges. Government policies emphasize economic recovery and social development, but progress is slow. Regulatory frameworks are weak, particularly in resource management and transparency. Society faces high poverty and unemployment rates, despite significant natural wealth. Education access is growing but quality remains an issue. Climate risks, including deforestation and flooding, threaten agriculture and biodiversity. Healthcare systems are underfunded and rely on international aid.
