Summary

This Selected Issues paper on the Republic of Congo analyzes the challenges of sustainable growth in the Republic of Congo.

It proposes a macroeconomic policy strategy that takes advantage of this unique opportunity to foster higher sustainable growth. The paper also provides a summary of various recent assessments of the quality of the Congo's public financial management system.
