a culture of looking out of the stereotype a quiet spot in a single season country that i no longer. needed to take photos grandma there you go it's cold out there. i'm rachel join me for me the german fun beat up the. post. count the i.m.f. help congo in the search from its crises congo's new president hopes to revive economic cooperation with the international monetary fund to bring stability back into the resource rich country. and another country managed to leave crisis behind rwanda makes a big splash this cosmetic homegrown. welcome to do business africa i want to get jones good to have you with us and discussing in congo which has. been embroiled in

chaos ever since the last boehner outbreak that started last summer and has already claimed more than $1000.00 lives civil unrest is only adding to the problem and makes it almost impossible for the economy to get on its feet the country's new president wants to change that with the help of the international monetary fund. congo's new president felix itchy security showing here at his inauguration in january has come to office with some ambitious plans he wants to battle poverty lower unemployment and raise wages for that the country urgently needs money that could be one reason she security stopped by the international monetary fund during his a prove it to the united states his aim to restore economic cooperation that's been suspended since 2012 when the i.m.f. halted congo's loan program after irregularities in connection with one of the mining companies came to light. in a few days i.m.f.

representatives are expected to return to the securities u.s. visit on his home turf at the moment the country has credits of tens of millions of dollars with the i.m.f. . let's bring in a benno from the in our foundation where he is country director for congo good to have you with us now there's something of puzzles me and many others here congo is rich in natural resources why is it in such a terrible state. yeah dreaming at home 1st and foremost unfortunately has to do with the history of the country your former dictator. he was highly corrupt he was greedy he ran down the country during his 32 years of rule nationalized companies siphon off the money into his own pockets and very credibly the consequences of this can still be seen until today it's it's not only that the companies remain in a very bad shape it's also that it is

a very selfish corrupt to rule and which was also careless of people next to a mindset where everyone had to look after himself and unfortunately this mindset that can still be found until today he still until this day that the earth lacks all these lacks proper good policies that have a nation that half the population at the center. now of course there has been international help already currently congo has credits off i believe $69000000.00 with the international monetary fund what is all that money for. and you need the money for some that you are mentioning that's supposed to go into investment that help make the matter of economics overall level more sustainable more stable so we talk about investments that help reduce poverty that go into health and that

go into education but you know like $6069000000000.00 that's for the size of the years for the size of the population it's definitely not a lot of money so. what's needs to be done in the coming years like a big endeavor it has to go into the mining industry and when i say the mining industry what needs to be done and where we need to get is that we create tax revenues and that we give more tax revenues from the mining industries into the public treasury now that you mention the mining industry china for one certainly is a very big investor there mining natural resources like coal gold in exchange for building infrastructure at least that's the idea how's that playing out. you know that's a deal. so that deal was done that was struck in 2008 so china. greed on a deal where china other projects were rezoned all this in the mining industry in

return they would invest up to $6000000000.00 the number of that was that reduced to $3000000000.00 into the infrastructure sector i mean honestly it's very hard to say it's difficult we have don't have a lot of meat on the ground. access is limited. production and extract mean the mining industries is set to start or have started in 2016 the number in the copper mining industry. 100000 tonnes are said to have been produced more but again it's very difficult to say we know about a few infrastructure projects like the renovation of a hospital of some roads having been both but again it's very hard to say. from the foundation talking to us. thank you so much thank you. and now to some other global business stories making the news. u.s.
