Ma vie

Bertin Lubembo MAWAKA benefited from the best education offered in the Congo. At the Central Bank of Congo, he supervised the elaboration of national accounts for a long time and traveled all over the country, becoming a fine connoisseur of the real economy of the DRC. As Secretary of the Management Committee of the BCC and Director, he acted as an advisor to the Governors of the BCC and to the Ministers of Finance. He has worked closely with major international financial institutions such as the IMF, the World Bank and the ADB; and this, until today at the head of the DGDP. Through this rich itinerary, Bertin Lubembo MAWAKA shows that life does not take a straight line, but a broken one, not to say a winding one. For him, the best way to regulate this sinuosity is to seek harmony, mutual understanding and peaceful coexistence. In economics, he invites the politician to rely absolutely on the technical proposals of the expert, if he wants to succeed in the preservation of social welfare, the purpose of all politics. These memoirs are therefore a precious showcase for the Congolese economy of the last decades.
