DRC: 'We are the ones who refused': Nicolas Kazadi claims his caution on eurobonds, praises but nuances the 2026 issuance

Nicolas Kazadi, former Minister of Finance of the DRC, claimed he refused the issuance of eurobonds during his term, despite banks' solicitations. He justified his decision by the growth of tax revenues and external support, highlighting that over $8 billion remained to be disbursed in projects. Kazadi also emphasized an improvement in the country's financial credibility, with the sovereign rating raised four times in three years.
