Description
Summary:The Republic of Congo has seen dramatic improvement in its debt situation since 2010, following debt relief through the IMF and World Bank Heavily Indebted Poor Countries/Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative.

This paper examines Congo's challenge to manage its natural resource revenue and attain sustained inclusive growth.
