The Congo is preparing to establish its first stock exchange.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo is currently preparing to establish its first ever stock exchange. The country's mineral resources are key raw materials for the development of the artificial intelligence industry, and the surge in global demand is driving the country's economy towards improvement. Congo hopes to attract more investment through this initiative. The Minister of Finance, Doudou Fwamba Likunde Li-Botayi, revealed that this new exchange will list securities priced in both Congolese francs and U.S. dollars. He also stated that the government is cooperating with international financial companies to establish a framework for the capital market system. Li-Botayi mentioned that the planned Kinshasa Stock Exchange is a part of the government's development strategy, aiming to seize the growing interest of foreign capital in the Congolese economy and broaden corporate financing channels. The authorities also hope that this dual-currency trading mechanism will eventually lead to more widespread use of the Congolese franc in the market.
