About Congo GDP YoY
Although abundant in natural resources, The Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo) has one of the lowest GDP per capita in the world. Decades of civil war and systemic corruption has left 70 percent of population living under poverty line. The growing mining industry, oil production and overseas financial aid are the main sources of revenue for the Congolese government.
