Project Description
The project aims to give momentum to the development of the debt capital markets in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Key project activities will focus on identifying, clarifying and assessing the legal, regulatory and operational requirements involved in setting up a Medium Term Note ("MTN") programme.
Development Results
The project activities are expected to provide clarity and address the gaps on the process and regulatory framework for the issuance of a Medium Term Note ("MTN"). This is expected to create an enabling environment for firms to raise capital from the private sector through the issuance of commercial papers, MTNs and other long term debt instruments.
