Gold Price Increase Supports DRC’s Economic Growth Amid Global Uncertainty
The price of gold, the Democratic Republic of Congo’s (DRC) leading export mineral, experienced a modest increase during the week of December 16 to 21, 2024.
According to data from the National Commission of Mercuriales, part of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, the price of a gram of gold reached $86.05, reflecting a 0.66% increase compared to the previous week.
This rise can be attributed to several factors, including increased demand for gold as a safe-haven asset amid global economic uncertainties.
As a key source of revenue for the DRC, gold plays a significant role in the country’s economic development.
