BCC: Towards a reform of foreign exchange regulations to better capture and direct mining revenues to the national economy

The Central Bank of Congo (BCC), led by André Wameso Nkualoloki, announced a reform of foreign exchange regulations aimed at improving the repatriation of export revenues, strengthening the use of the Congolese franc, and increasing the mining sector's contribution to the national economy. Discussed at a conference in Kolwezi on October 9, 2026, the reform seeks to balance mining industry competitiveness with macroeconomic stability by better aligning exchange regulations with the 2018 Mining Code. The goal is for mineral wealth to more significantly support monetary stability and economic financing.
