Between May 30 and June 6, 2025, the General Tax Directorate (DGI) collected 932 billion Congolese francs, equivalent to approximately 327 million US dollars, marking an 18.32% increase compared to the previous week (787.7 billion CDF), according to the latest economic outlook note published by the Central Bank of Congo (BCC).
This performance positions the DGI as the main contributor to public treasury revenues during this period, ahead of the General Directorate of Customs and Excise (DGDA), with 531 billion CDF, and the DGRAD, which mobilized 379 billion CDF.
According to the BCC, total revenues from financial authorities reached 1,842 billion CDF, surpassing the initial forecast of 1,660.2 billion, representing an achievement rate of 110.95%. A strong signal for the Congolese authorities who rely on optimizing financial authorities to finance national priorities.
For the month of June, the State’s cash flow plan forecasts 1,705 billion CDF in revenues against 1,808 billion in expenses, generating a deficit of 1,324 billion CDF. This deficit, as specified by the BCC, is fully covered thanks to previously established cash margins, in an environment marked by negative net issuances.
However, the country’s financial situation remains under pressure due to increasing costs related to the security crisis in the East and budget adjustments imposed by humanitarian and infrastructural emergencies.
It is worth noting that in 2024, the DGI had already achieved several symbolic milestones in terms of tax mobilization, at times exceeding monthly forecasts. This upward trend, now confirmed, reflects the ongoing effort of the tax administration to strengthen internal mobilization, within a still constrained macroeconomic framework.
