The DRC Sits on $24 Trillion in Minerals: So Why Is It One of the World's Poorest Countries?

 Introduction. The Democratic Republic of Congo is often described as one of the richest countries on earth in terms of natural resources. Beneath its soil lie deposits of cobalt, copper, coltan, lithium, gold, diamonds, tin, uranium, and rare earth minerals with a combined estimated value exceeding 24 trillion US dollars. These are not marginal commodities. They are the raw materials that the entire global clean energy transition, the electric vehicle revolution, the smartphone industry, and the modern digital economy depend upon absolutely. And yet the DRC consistently ranks among the poorest nations on earth. According to the World Bank, an estimated 73.5 percent of Congolese people lived on less than 2.15 US dollars per day in 2024. By 2025, 81.1 percent live on less than three dollars per day. The country ranks 164 out of 174 nations on the Human Capital Index. A Congolese child born today can expect to achieve only 37 percent of their productive potential compared to a chil...

  La RDC dispose de 24 000 milliards de dollars de minéraux : pourquoi est-elle l'un des pays les plus pauvres du monde ? Publié : mai 2026  |  Catégorie : Entreprises et ressources naturelles en Afrique  |  Temps de lecture : 15 minutes   Introduction La République démocratique du Congo est souvent décrite comme l'un des pays les plus riches de la planète en termes de ressources naturelles.

Il ne s'agit pas de matières premières marginales. Ce sont les matières brutes dont dépend absolument l'ensemble de la transition énergétique mondiale, la révolution des véhicules électriques, l'industrie des smartphones et l'économie numérique moderne. Et pourtant, la RDC se classe régulièrement parmi les nations...

Welcome to AfricaInfoBase:Your Independent Guide to Africa's Resources, Wildlife, Business, Travel, and Environment

  Introduction Africa is the most extraordinary continent on earth. It is the birthplace of humanity, the origin of civilisation, and home to 30 percent of the world's mineral reserves, the greatest concentration of wildlife on the planet, 54 diverse and sovereign nations, and 1.4 billion people whose energy, creativity, and ambition are reshaping the global economy in ways that the world is only beginning to understand. And yet, despite all of this, Africa remains one of the most misunderstood, misrepresented, and underreported regions in mainstream English-language media. Too often, coverage of the continent defaults to crisis, conflict, and calamity, leaving out the stories of innovation, conservation, investment, cultural richness, and human achievement that define daily life across its 54 nations. AfricaInfoBase was created to change that. This is your independent source for clear, well-researched, and genuinely useful reporting on Africa's natural resources, wildlif...
