A bank with Congolese capital is in the making to facilitate business creation in the country. The desire to create such a financial institution goes back much further, since the time of the Bank of Kinshasa.

The financial institution, confirmed the Federation of Companies of Congo (FEC), will be able to facilitate access to bank loans for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The announcement of the FEC continues to generate mixed reactions among the beneficiaries, in this case SMEs and local entrepreneurs as a whole. Indeed, as explained by the employers' organization of the DRC, the objective of the new Congolese bank will be to promote local entrepreneurship, even if its main target will initially remain SMEs.
