Analysis# Congo, Dem. Rep. of the Total Investment Total investment in the Democratic Republic of the Congo stood at 14.767% of GDP in 2026, representing a substantial 60.6% increase since 2004. The country's investment level remains well below its all-time peak of 27.224% in 2010, when commodity prices and capital inflows surged. The 2008 low of 4.619% marks the floor of the measured period, showing significant volatility across two decades. The 2010 peak followed a sharp contraction during the global financial crisis, after which investment declined steadily through the mid-2010s. A notable recovery began in 2023, when investment jumped to 15.662%, the highest level since 2011. Current projections suggest stabilization in the 14–15% range, reflecting moderate but consistent capital deployment as the economy gradually strengthens.
