From one country to another, monetary policy differs either in its main objective or in its instruments, but one thing is certain: the monetary policy of a country is of paramount importance. In this regard, many theories have been put forward to explain the proper functioning of a monetary policy according to its objective, not to mention a good deal of research that has been done to explain monetary policy across countries. In DR Congo the institution in charge of monetary policy is the Central Bank of the Democratic Republic of Congo (BCC) which is an autonomous body created by the law of 17 August 1979. The main objective of the central bank through monetary policy is to guarantee price stability in other words to control inflation and the money market in particular.
