The Kinshasa Financial Center (French: Centre Financier de Kinshasa) is a financial hub strategically located in the Gombe commune of Kinshasa, in the western region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).[2][3] Covering a total area of 41,000 square meters, it is the largest financial center in the DRC.[4] The center houses key institutions such as the Ministries of Finance and Budget, the General Directorates, the General Inspectorate of Finance, the General Secretariat of Finance, and the Development Bank.[5] It is administered by the state-owned Investment Fund commercial entity, which supervises real estate assets like the financial and convention centers.[6]
The center was commissioned by President Félix Tshisekedi in February 2022[7][5] and was officially inaugurated on December 19, 2023.[8][9][10][11] It was constructed by the Turkish company Milvest, a subsidiary of Miller Holding.[12][4]
