Good News from Congo

DRC gets the headlines those days, mainly because of the elections. Despite this apparent good news, let's shed a light on what the country still is:

"The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) continues its failure to demonstrate significant improvement in economic freedom or business environement liberalisation. On the Faied Index list, it scored as the second most at risk nation in the world, which is only behind Sudan."

In addition, the DRC in the most recent World Bank study, rested in last place in terms of economic reform or governance improvements.

The DRC failed to register a single reform; however, since its growth is tied to the extractive inductries, there appears to be little call from the international community for reform.

How surprising...
