Abstract

The sustainability of the debt is an important pillar of a healthy economy, especially as it illustrates a country's ability to meet its debt obligations without recourse to debt relief or arrears. This paper analyzes the sustainability of DR Congolese public debt. It starts from the origin of the debt through the analysis of the situation after the completion point of the PPTE initiative to finally analyze the sustainability of the public debt and the risks it faces. Globally, it was noted that without the PPTE initiative, the DRC's external debt indicators would have exceeded the applicable thresholds: 30% of GDP, 100% of exports and 200% of revenues, but once they reach the completion point these ratios fell below the applicable thresholds: 24.4% of GDP, 42% of exports, and 124.3% of revenues.
