The National Assembly of the Democratic Republic of Congo is preparing for an extraordinary session focused on revising the state budget for 2026. Discussions will center on a potential increase to the budget, driven by escalating expenditures related to the ongoing conflict in the eastern part of the country. The financial strain from the conflict is significantly impacting public finances, necessitating the budgetary review. This “collective budget” process aims to address the growing financial demands. Lawmakers will assess and debate the proposed adjustments to accommodate the increased costs. The revision seeks to ensure sufficient funding to manage the crisis and maintain essential government functions. The outcome of this session will be crucial for the DRC’s financial stability in the coming year.
