Impact of Exports on Economic Growth in the Non-Oil Sector in the Republic of Congo

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to analyze the impact of exports on the economic growth in the non-oil sector in the Republic of the Congo over the period of 1985 to 2015. Two approaches are used to achieve this study goal: the descriptive approach and the econometric approach. The results of our study show that non-oil exports have a negative effect on economic growth. Following these results, some recommendations are made to improve the contribution of exports to economic growth.
