The Congo today is recovering from a time of economic decline. "The DRC is a poor country with a developing economy" (Gondola). The average GDP in the Congo is only 700 whereas in America, it is about 55,000. The majority of what they produce is coffee, sugar, palm oil, rubber, tea, cotton, cocoa, quinine, cassava, bananas, plantains, peanuts, etc. All these things are used around the world and, with enough production, can turn the economy of the Congo around.

The unemployment rate in the Congo is unknown but 63% of people in the Congo are below the poverty line
