Last month, Ecofin Agency announced the launch of Bankable, a new economic news platform based in Kinshasa, aimed at highlighting business opportunities and the evolving economic governance in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). As of today, Bankable is also available in English.

The English-language version of Bankable opens up reliable, well-researched information on the DRC’s economy to a broader global audience, providing content that adheres to international standards.

English-speaking readers will find in-depth analysis and reports covering key sectors of the Congolese economy, including agriculture, mining, digital technology, energy, and finance. These insights are produced by Ecofin Agency journalists, who specialize in various economic fields.

According to Aboudi Ottou, Editor-in-Chief, "The launch of the English version of Bankable is a significant milestone in our efforts to expand our reach and make our content available to a global audience. This step feels particularly essential as the DRC, with its largely untapped economic potential, is increasingly drawing the attention of investors worldwide."

Agence Ecofin is known for its comprehensive coverage of African economic sectors such as public management, finance, telecommunications, agriculture, energy, mining, transport, and education. The agency collaborates with various partners to operate multiple media outlets, including We Are Tech with Orange, Business in Cameroon with Stratline Agency, and Togo First with the Togo Business Climate Unit.

The editorial team consists of 47 journalists, all based in Africa, across six offices: Yaoundé, Abidjan, Cotonou, Lomé, Dakar, and now Kinshasa. Collectively, they produce over 80 articles daily, with around 20 published in English. The agency is also highly active on social media, reaching more than 6 million people per month through posts, videos, and infographics.
