KINSHASA, June 27 – The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has approved approximately $348.5 million in new financing for the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) after completing programme reviews under its Extended Credit Facility (ECF) and Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF).
The approval follows the successful completion of the third review of the country’s ECF-supported programme and the second review under the RSF.
Under the decision, the IMF will immediately disburse approximately $258.2 million through the Extended Credit Facility and an additional $90.3 million under the Resilience and Sustainability Facility.
The latest funding is expected to support the DRC’s ongoing economic reform agenda, strengthen macroeconomic stability, and enhance resilience to climate-related and long-term structural challenges.
The ECF provides concessional financing to low-income countries implementing economic reforms, while the RSF supports investments aimed at improving resilience to climate change and other long-term economic vulnerabilities.
The latest disbursement reinforces the IMF’s continued support for the DRC as the country advances reforms designed to promote sustainable economic growth and strengthen fiscal and institutional resilience.
