Kinshasa.
Presidential Palace.
Waite reclined slightly in his chair.
Looking at the freshly compiled economic data from Congo Gold last year, a broad smile appeared on his face. In his first year in office, the GDP growth rate broke through thirty-nine percent.
Rounding up, it's forty percent.
Such an achievement.
Greatly boosted his prestige for a time.
One must know.
Back in 2006.
Congo Gold's GDP was only $14.4 billion. After he took office, first several major Huaxia companies moved into Wanqing Industrial Park, then came large commodity and project loans from Burma.
In combination.
Last year Congo Gold's GDP broke through $20 billion for the first time.
While happy about this,
Waite couldn't help but feel a bit dejected.
Because in the global GDP rankings of 2007 on the wall, Congo Gold was still at the bottom, exactly at the 100th place, almost less than Huaxia's city called Macau.
Very embarrassing.
On another chart.
