UNIPACE ACTION RESULTS IN BEAC RECEIVING UNICONGO

Faced with pressure from the Union des Patronats d'Afrique Centrale (UNIPACE) at the sub-regional level, and from Unicongo at the national level, a meeting was convened by the National Director of the BEAC. It took place on June 9, 2021, with Congolese bankers in the morning, and importers and manufacturers in the afternoon.

A audit of the problems encountered by the stakeholders has been carried out. Measures should normally be taken by the BEAC to be taken by the BEAC in order to relieve importersat the risk of accentuating the shortages observed in recent weeks on certain products and foodstuffs.

In conclusion, a flexibility of the procedure has been agreed upon to facilitate the supply of food and medical products. It will also avoid stock-outs of raw materials and inputs, and supplies and spare parts for manufacturers.
