Analysis# Congo, Dem. Rep. of the National Savings The Democratic Republic of the Congo's national savings reached 12.683% of GDP in 2026, representing a modest recovery from recent lows. The country's savings rate peaked at 17.477% in 2011 but has declined overall by 2.3 percentage points since 2004. Current levels sit comfortably above the all-time low of 4.625% recorded in 2008, though they remain below the heights achieved in the early 2010s. Recent years reveal volatility punctuated by a sharp contraction in 2022, when savings dropped to 6.985% of GDP. A strong rebound began in 2021 and has continued through 2026, with the rate climbing from 9.469% in 2020 to the current level. This upward trajectory suggests improving domestic resource mobilization, positioning savings growth as a positive indicator for future economic stability.
