Stress Test MatrixThis Financial System Stability Assessment on the Democratic Republic of the Congo highlights that the Congolese financial sector has recovered from the crisis of 2009 but is at a crossroads. Although reforms have been initiated, the system remains shallow, highly dollarized, and characterized by balance sheet fragilities. The authorities have announced a de-dollarization process; however, greater progress on reforms to strengthen the financial system is needed to support financial deepening and economic growth. The team’s analysis suggests that the financial system remains vulnerable. Resilience to shocks is undermined by the lack of risk-based supervision, lax regulation and weak enforcement of existing regulations, low profitability, and an excessive reliance on sight deposits. Steps are also needed to improve the capacity for micro- and macroprudential supervision. The implementation of risk-based supervision for individual banks is a critical prerequisite for effective crisis prevention. Assessments of bank-specific and systemic soundness are severely handicapped by weak supervisory data and other information gaps. There are significant weaknesses in accounting and auditing practices and, even if indicators suggest high capitalization levels, a more detailed analysis suggests banks are under-provisioned, partly owing to lax definitions of nonperforming loans and provisioning rules.IMF Staff Country Reports; Country Report ;No. 2014/315Financial institutionsCongo (Democratic Republic)Banks and BankingimfMoney and Monetary PolicyimfIndustries: Financial ServicesimfFinance: GeneralimfBanksimfDepository InstitutionsimfMicro Finance InstitutionsimfMortgagesimfMonetary Policy, Central Banking, and the Supply of Money and Credit: GeneralimfFinancial Institutions and Services: Government Policy and RegulationimfMonetary SystemsimfStandardsimfRegimesimfGovernment and the Monetary SystemimfPayment SystemsimfGeneral Financial Markets: Government Policy and RegulationimfBankingimfFinanceimfMonetary economicsimfFinancial services law & regulationimfLoansimfCommercial banksimfCreditimfCapital adequacy requirementsimfFinancial institutionsimfMoneyimfCurrenciesimfFinancial sector stabilityimfFinancial sector policy and analysisimfBanks and bankingimfAsset requirementsimfFinancial services industryimfCongo (Democratic Republic)Economic conditionsCongo (Democratic Republic)Economic policyCongo, Democratic Republic of theimfFinancial institutionsBanks and BankingMoney and Monetary PolicyIndustries: Financial ServicesFinance: GeneralBanksDepository InstitutionsMicro Finance InstitutionsMortgagesMonetary Policy, Central Banking, and the Supply of Money and Credit: GeneralFinancial Institutions and Services: Government Policy and RegulationMonetary SystemsStandardsRegimesGovernment and the Monetary SystemPayment SystemsGeneral Financial Markets: Government Policy and RegulationBankingFinanceMonetary economicsFinancial services law & regulationLoansCommercial banksCreditCapital adequacy requirementsFinancial institutionsMoneyCurrenciesFinancial sector stabilityFinancial sector policy and analysisBanks and bankingAsset requirementsFinancial services industry309.1675DcWaIMFBOOK9910788082203321Democratic Republic of the Congo3677640UNINA
