In partnership with FANAF, ANAPI raises awareness about attracting foreign direct investment.
The National Agency for the Promotion of Investments (ANAPI) organized, on Thursday, February 23, 2023, a business meeting with the members of the Federation of African National Insurance Companies (FANAF) at Sultani Hotel in Kinshasa.

Organized on the sidelines of the 47th General Assembly of the Federation of African National Insurance Companies (FANAF), this meeting focused on the issues of investment and attraction of foreign direct investments in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

During this business meeting under the high patronage of the Ministry of Finance, the Director General of ANAPI, Anthony Nkinzo Kamole, presented to the FANAF delegates the picture of the national business environment with an emphasis on the impact of reforms and priority sectors of investment.
Anthony Nkinzo also invited FANAF participants to choose the Democratic Republic of Congo as their investment destination today.
