Congo

1. Country / Territory Brief

The Republic of the Congo is a country located in Sub-Saharan Africa and is currently classified as a middle-income country.

Following its independence in 1960, the former French region of Middle Congo became the Republic of the Congo. More

recently, despite an improved overall economic situation, Congo is still suffering from the lingering effects of the 1990s civil wars

that continue to weigh heavily on economic and social recovery. The country has also been a WTO member since 1997.

Although the country is rich in natural resources which give it a substantial comparative advantage in integrating into global

value chains, Congo’s primary role in international production networks is restricted to the export of primary inputs due to

structural obstacles. Additional untapped resources in the country include large quantities of base metal, gold, iron and

phosphate deposits.

4.2 Domestic and Foreign Market Access

The Republic of The Congo is classified as a lower middle income country in Central Africa. The past decade has been

characterized by strong and steady economic growth of 6 per cent per annum on average, following incessant violent conflict

and stagnation throughout the 1990s. With the economy essentially oil-based, the booming prices during the 90s served to

stabilize the economic situation. During the same period, state control increased whilst the economy lacks liberalization in key

industries. Reforms towards a market economy and transparency in the oil sector have been continuously slow, despite World

Bank/IMF pressure. The Congo has a natural infrastructure asset in the Pointe-Noire port yet road and rail networks remain in a

poor state, leaving the port under-utilized. The agriculture and manufacturing sectors would benefit from improved

infrastructure, along with electricity access and a more developed financial system. The largest challenge in front of the country

is to promote further economy diversification, to advance economic freedom, to resolve institutional weakness, and to

rehabilitate the infrastructure.

WTO, 2013, Trade Policy review (CEMAC: Congo)

Trade Policy and Market Access

The Republic of the Congo is a member of the main regional economic communities, the Central African Economic and

Monetary Community (CEMAC) and the Economic Community of Central African states (ECCAS). The overlapping of these

regional economic communities with different levels of liberalization in their respective domestic markets has created constraints

to harmonisation and alignment. The Congo, as a member of the CEMAC customs union, adopts the CEMAC common external

tariff (CET) and its simple average MFN tariff rate in 2013 was 18.1 per cent. For a large percentage of imported manufactured

goods, the tariff rates can be as high as 3 per cent plus other duties and taxes. High non-tariff barriers such as the overtaxing of

goods are major obstacles to regional trade. Despite the establishment of the free trade area among CEMAC countries, the level

of intra-community trade remains low; distortion of CET and numerous non-tariff barriers form major impediments to trade in the

region.

African Development Bank, 2011, Central Africa – Regional Integration Strategy Paper, 2011-2015

Standard Compliance and Other Relevant Import/Export Restrictions

According to the WTO, the Congo has not yet established an operational sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) enquiry point, nor

has it notified any measure (ordinary or emergency) to the WTO SPS. The Ministry responsible for health is in charge of

applying SPS measures relating to human health and food, and the Ministry responsible for agriculture is in charge of applying

SPS measures and the protection of animal health, in both cases, in collaboration with the Ministry in charge of trade. The

Congo complies with the provisions of the FAO International Plant Protection Convention, the FAO/WHO Codex Alimentarius,

and the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE). The importation and exportation of animal and plant products are subject to

prior authorization and the issue of SPS certificates. On the other hand, the Congo does not have a national regulatory

framework for standardization and quality management, or an official technical barrier to trade (TBT) entry point. The lack of the

SPS operation system and TBT measures constitute a constraint on the country’s economic integration, particularly in the

aspect of export. Therefore, the government is seeking technical assistance and capacity building to bring laws and regulations

up to international standards.

4.3 Trade Facilitation

Description

According to the World Bank Logistics Performance Index (LPI) (2012) which measures countries’ trade

logistics efficiency, the Congo was ranked 149th out of 155 countries. All indicators except timeliness are

below the averages of the low income and Sub-Saharan Africa countries. This is mostly in line with the finding

of the OECD Trade Facilitation Indicator that the Congo performed better in the area of internal border agency

cooperation, whilst its performance for involvement of the trade community, advance rulings, harmonisation

and simplification of documents and automation is below the averages of Sub-Saharan African and low middle

income countries. The World Bank’s Doing Business Report (2014) also reaffirms that the Congo’s

performance in facilitating trade across border is lower than the regional average and its comparator

economies. In specific, the Congo requires more documents, more days and higher cost to export and import

than the average of Sub-Saharan African, and the procedures are proved to be lengthy and costly.

Nonetheless, local government has taken reforming measures to decrease the cost, time and number of

documents. For instance, World Bank (2014) has observed a recent implementation of prearrival processing

of ship manifests and improvements in customs administration.

4.4 Business and Regulatory Environment

Description

The World Bank Doing Business Report (2013) ranked the Congo 185th out of 189 countries, one

position better than the previous year, yet the overall performance remain deficient. Among all

indicators, the Congo performs relatively better in the area of getting credits and resolving insolvency.

As suggested by the 2014 Index of Economic Freedom, the Congo is ranked 169th across world in

terms of its economic freedom. It is acclaimed by government to welcome foreign investment, yet the

lengthy and costly administrative processes, bureaucracy, and ineffective governmental decisionmaking

severely dampened the country’s attractiveness to foreign business (U.S. Department of State

2013). With regards to the regulatory environment, heavy state involvement in the leading economic

sectors, pervasive corruption, and lack of transparency, remained major obstacles dampening privatesector

dynamism and led to uneven economic development. The Congolese government is also

accused of being weak in judiciary and incapable of enforcing contracts.

4.5 Infrastructure

Infrastructure is a key to the diversification of the Republic of Congo’s economy. According to the U.S. Department of State

(2013), weak infrastructure, particularly poor transportation systems, lack of broadband internet, and inconsistent electric and

water supply, stays one of the biggest hurdles for local economic development. For example, inefficiency in the power sector

creates significant hidden costs and drives power tariffs up. Power outages are frequent and 82 per cent of businesses have

generators that cover more than half of their needs at high costs. The country’s ICT sector has been developed under the sector

strategy, with an aim to become a regional ICT hub. A legal and policy framework for regulation of the telecommunication

sectors has increased competition in the country’s mobile phone sector. However, fixed telephone contracts are under the public

monopoly with low penetration, which is a constraint to raising internet penetration. The country’s road network is currently

undergoing a major paving and restoration effort including a new Pointe-Noire corridor towards the Central African Republic.

The project will help to improve transit efficiency. Financial services in the Congo are liable to the CEMAC common banking

regulations, although the issue of a lack of professionalism in the sector remains. The financial system remained

underdeveloped and is dominated by banks. In recent years, the microcredit market has been booming, resulting in the declining

influence of the traditional banking industry. The Congo has one of the leading ports in the Gulf of Guinea region with the

potential to become an ever more important hub through the massive recent investment to expand capacity, improve connecting

infrastructure and ease bureaucratic procedures.
