a business africa i want to joan's good to have you with us and just starting in congo which has been embroiled in chaos ever since the last ebola outbreak that started last summer and has already claimed more than 1000 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 it's the 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 $1.00 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 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. from the economy in our foundation where he is country director for congo good to have you with us that there's something that 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 they're 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's 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. still until this day if your sea legs all these lacks proper good policies that half the 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. usually the money 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 going to help that go into education if you are late $6069000000.00 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 and 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 revenue so 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 cobalt in exchange for building infrastructure at least that's the idea how is 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 projects were rebuilding dollars in the mining industry in return they would invest up to $6000000000.00 a number 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 extraction in the mining industry is the set to start or have started in 2016 the number in the copper mining industry. 100000 tons 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 that having been built but again it's very hard to say ok they're from the foundation talking to us in concession thank you so much thank

you. and now to some other global business stories making the news. to us present confirms he's postponed a decision on tariffs on cars and parts from europe and japan in now says he'll wait up to $180.00 days for the outcome of trade talks before deciding whether to implement the additional navy's. boeing says it's completed a patch to fix the flight control software on a 737 max plane the software was implicated in 2 deadly crashes in indonesia and ethiopia the company hopes the update will get to the top selling and are now flying again officials around the world have grounded to the jet. a study says germany is the 2nd most attractive destination for i.t. specialists behind only the united states focusing on cities the study found that london is the most popular place for digital experts followed by new york and bulletin no african cities made the list. of british low cost airline easyjet has

started a bird launched here allowing users to rent scooters using its app. birds general manager for israel says scooters could help reduce the heavy traffic congestion in the mediterranean metropolis. for a start we go to the q r code 30 per cent am of our rides are between $8.00 and 9 am and $6.00 and 7 pm which essentially shows you that people that take the birds are people that are replacing them cars. scooters are meant to solve what's called the last mile of problem of transport between home and a bus stop for instance allowing people to avoid taking cars. renting a scooter costs about $1.00 euro plus $0.12 for every minute of travel. 10 minutes
