Following the weak mobilization of public revenue, the Congolese government launched, in October 2019, Treasury Bonds to diversify its sources of financing to meet its still high public spending. A Treasury Bond, which is issued through the Treasury channel, is a debt security repayable at maturity.
When an economic operator or an individual buys a Treasury Bond, he lends money to the State and becomes, in a way, its creditor. Guaranteed 100% by the government that issues it, the Treasury Bond is one of the safest investments in the money market.
