Now is the time to
invest in the DRC!
Under the supervision of the Ministry of Planning and Development Aid Coordination, the National Agency for Investment Promotion (ANAPI) is the public institution responsible for improving the business climate and facilitating investment in the Democratic Republic of Congo. As a privileged interface between the private sector and public authorities, ANAPI supports investors in all stages of the creation and development of their projects.
Promotion of investment opportunities
ANAPI promotes strategic sectors with high potential in the DRC and organizes economic missions, forums, and conferences to attract foreign and local investors. The agency also offers market studies and analyses to help companies better understand the country's economic opportunities.
Support for investors and entrepreneurs in the DRC
ANAPI facilitates the establishment of businesses in the DRC by guiding investors through administrative, tax, and legal procedures. We provide detailed information and guidance on investment opportunities, applicable regulations, and tax benefits available in the DRC.
Advocacy for improving the business climate
ANAPI acts as a mediator between investors and government institutions to identify and remove barriers to investment. The agency works to implement reforms aimed at improving transparency, simplifying procedures, and making the business environment more attractive.
Why invest in the
DRC ?
A rich and growing market
The DRC is rich in strategic resources (cobalt, copper, lithium) and has a market of over 100 million inhabitants, offering enormous investment opportunities.
An attractive business climate
The government is facilitating investment with reforms, tax breaks, and a strengthened legal framework, supported by ANAPI.
A key geostrategic position
Located in the heart of Africa, the DRC offers privileged access to regional markets thanks to its infrastructure and commercial network.
Testimonials
ANAPI supported us in the completion of two projects: the construction of a modern five-story hotel and the construction of a fuel storage depot. This enabled us to create several local jobs. In addition, it brought us national and international recognition. As investors, we became known in financial circles and our tax contribution also increased. We therefore invite other entrepreneurs to approach ANAPI for support in carrying out their projects, thereby helping to create a Congolese middle class.
ANAPI is supporting KIPAY Investment in its project to build a 166.8 MW hydroelectric power plant located in a copper-rich area of Haut-Katanga. This ambitious project by KIPAY represents an opportunity to create jobs for both nationals and expatriates. As an investor in the electric power sector, KIPAY reflects the Congolese people's determination to show their resolve. To this end, KIPAY invites other entrepreneurs to contact ANAPI for better support in the completion and implementation of their projects.

Investing in the DRC
The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is actively committed to improving its business climate in order to enhance its attractiveness to domestic and international investors. Thanks to its immense economic potential, the DRC is positioning itself as a strategic destination for investment in Central Africa.
The National Agency for Investment Promotion (ANAPI) plays a key role in this transformation by supporting investors and facilitating access to business opportunities through a modernized regulatory framework and ambitious economic reforms.
A rapidly changing business climate
Thanks to these reforms, the Democratic Republic of Congo is gradually positioning itself as a more attractive and competitive investment destination. The modernization of the administrative framework, the securing of investments, the improvement of infrastructure, and the digitization of services are major drivers of the country’s economic growth.
ANAPI, as the body responsible for promoting investment, plays a key role in supporting companies wishing to set up in the DRC, facilitating their procedures and ensuring the effective implementation of reforms. With the sustained commitment of the authorities and the private sector, the DRC is transforming its economic environment to offer better opportunities to investors and stimulate sustainable development.
