DRC – public debt : a new stringent framework for borrowing, guarantees and on-lending

On 30 April 2026, the Ministers of Finance, Interior and Portfolio adopted a landmark Interministerial Order fundamentally reforming the procedures for authorising borrowing, granting State guarantees and on-lending of loans in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This instrument, grounded in Ordinance-Law No. 23/021 on public debt management, marks a decisive step forward in the modernisation of public and parapublic debt governance in the DRC.

The Head of State, Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo, has taken a decisive step in modernizing the Congolese judicial system by promulgating, on March 15, 2026, the Ordinance-Law establishing the Economic and Financial Criminal Court (Tribunal Pénal Économique et Financier, hereinafter "TPEF") and the specialized public prosecutor's office attached thereto.
