La croissance économique de la République Démocratique du Congo serait-elle liée au volume de la dette extérieure?

Mupenda, Olivier Munene (2021): La croissance économique de la République Démocratique du Congo serait-elle liée au volume de la dette extérieure?

Abstract

Debt reduces the productivity of a country. In this French version of Mupenda (2021): "Is slow economic growth originating from the total external debt stock in the Democratic Republic of Congo?", with the addition of the 2011 UN Security Council report on the Democratic Republic of Congo, we will provide the translated version of how a country's inability to service its debt has consequences on its productivity. With empirical evidence, our analysis will be looking at the Congolese standard of living from its independence in 1960 to the historical democratic transfers of power in late 2018 to understand the effects of external debts in the Congolese economic growth.
