President Trump Facilitates Congo-Rwanda Peace Deal, Boosting Congolese Currency
President Trump recently facilitated a peace agreement between the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Rwanda, aiming to end a long-standing conflict between the two nations. The deal, signed at the White House, has led to a significant resurgence of the Congolese franc, which has become Africa's best-performing currency. The currency's value increased by 29%, attributed to Congo's foreign currency holdings and a shift in central bank policy. The peace agreement also included a mineral deal with the U.S., promising economic benefits and access to critical minerals. The DRC's copper revenue increased by 32% this year, further stabilizing the economy.
