By creating a more predictable and investment-friendly environment, the country can unlock significant economic value, strengthen public revenue&nbsp;systems&nbsp;and accelerate inclusive digital transformation.\u201d&nbsp;<\/em>&nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/><strong>High connectivity but usage gap persists<\/strong>&nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>Unveiled at the GSMA\u2019s Digital Africa Summit&nbsp;in&nbsp;Congo, the report shows that the Republic of the Congo has made strong progress in expanding digital infrastructure, with 86% of the population covered by 4G networks. However, only 19% of the population uses mobile internet, while 70% of those within coverage remain offline, highlighting a significant usage gap.&nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>Smartphone adoption&nbsp;remains&nbsp;limited, reflecting affordability and accessibility barriers. While mobile money adoption is growing rapidly, affordability constraints, limited digital skills, and regulatory challenges continue to restrict broader digital uptake.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>According to the GSMA Digital Nations and Society Index (2025), Congo scores 26 out of 100, with a Digital Policy and Regulatory Index score of 33 out of 100, underscoring the need to strengthen the enabling environment. Addressing these barriers will be critical to unlocking digital transformation across sectors,&nbsp;including agriculture, manufacturing, transport, trade, healthcare, and public administration.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/><strong>A strategic investment priority<\/strong>&nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>Expanding 4G coverage from 89% to 97% of the population will require&nbsp;additional&nbsp;investment, supported by a more enabling policy environment. The report highlights the importance of treating the digital sector as a strategic investment priority and sets out a roadmap to unlock the country\u2019s digital potential.&nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>If implemented, the reforms could&nbsp;result in the following&nbsp;by&nbsp;2030:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Over 540,000\u00a0additional\u00a0mobile internet users, bringing the total to approximately 2.2 million users (around 31% of the population)\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>FCFA 870 billion in\u00a0additional\u00a0value added across key economic sectors and public services\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Over 144,000 new jobs created\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A net tax impact of\u00a0approximately FCFA\u00a093 billion in 2030, driven by broader economic growth and more efficient tax collection\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>FCFA 174 billion in cumulative\u00a0additional\u00a0tax revenues over the period to 2030\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A call for coordinated policy reform<\/strong>&nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>The report&nbsp;identifies&nbsp;four priority reform areas to accelerate inclusive digital growth:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Strengthen the infrastructure investment environment:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<br \/>Undertake market and competition reviews, enable technology-neutral and unified licensing, reform spectrum policy, reduce excessive regulatory and spectrum fees, improve energy coordination, streamline rights-of-way approvals, and enhance Universal Service Fund governance and transparency.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Use digital technology to enhance government revenue and optimise sector taxation:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<br \/>Accelerate digital tax collection systems and cashless payments while reforming sector-specific taxes.
