DRC Fiscal situation

According to the Central Bank data, the DRC has registered a fiscal surplus of approximately USD 3 million in March after a deficit of USD 2 million in February. Both government revenues and expenditures have substantially increased in March. On the revenues’ side, this increase can be explained by the payment of the 3^rd installments of corporate taxes which is due on the 31^st of March each year. On the expenditures’ side, the increase is mainly due to an increase in civil servant salaries payment (+45%) and in State entities ‘functioning fees’ (+76%). Year to date, the government has earned USD 3 million more than it spends.
