Business leaders from East Africa say that the Democratic Republic of Congo is ripe for business following commitments by Kinshasa that it is reviewing regulations to ease doing business in the country.

Executives who spoke at the inaugural Nation Media Group East African Business Conference and Trade Fair in Kinshasa at the end of the week expressed optimism with the reforms that the Felix Tshisekedi administration has instituted to facilitate investment in the country that has suffered decades of political uncertainty.
