Loss of mining revenues in Democratic Republic of the Congo
Economic threat from significant revenue leakage in the mining sector due to weak controls over volumes and metal content.
Recent analysis indicates that the Democratic Republic of the Congo loses nearly half of its potential mining revenues because of inadequate controls over the volumes and the metal content of minerals extracted. This leakage undermines fiscal stability, reduces funds available for public investment and social services, and weakens the government's ability to leverage its mineral wealth for broad-based economic development despite strong overall growth projections.
