A Deal with Congo

The US government has offered a minerals deal to the Democratic Republic of Congo. The deal, if it passes the close scrutiny that it must have, can bring about enormous benefits to the economy of Democratic Republic of Congo. The Congo has been mired in conflict for far too long with its neighbours, and must pay equal attention to the economy that might bring significant changes. 

The deal with its import, should be given close attention, and all restraint must be exercised in order to bring it to a closure. Most capitalist economies work on efficient usage of resources, the minerals deal, must be considered a positive step. Economic development must be given the priority that it deserves and all care must be exercised on the part of the US government to bring it to a closure. Most minerals deals are done in closed-door meetings, and thus should have been the case with the Congolese deal that the US government is vying for.

The last attempt has not been successful, and coming weeks or months would decide the pace and efficacy of the minerals deal with the Democratic Republic of Congo. The efficient use of resources must be given the privilege that it deserves. The government in the Congo should accrue more benefits than the assumed costs that the deal must have. The costs, if they are more than the benefits, would make the minerals deal less beneficial than it should have been for the government in the Congo.

Appropriate market price can be one of the best ways to measure the benefits of the deal. The minerals deal, if it passes the considered scrutiny must be given the advantage in a market economy. Appropriate market price must be assigned for the minerals deal and all benefits must be accrued to the sellers and buyers. Both buyers and sellers should have their rights protected in the market, and the government must assure that the accumulated benefits are used for the welfare of their populace and in economic development. The deal, if it is offered at the right market price, should be accepted by the Democratic Republic of Congo and all efforts must be placed at the behest of the populace that the government represents. The deal with the United States ought to be considered lucrative, and the government in Kinshasa must use it, and accept, it with all adeptness.
