The study examines the role of Chinese foreign direct investment (FDI) in the economic growth of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), which struggles with financing its economic activities due to insufficient domestic resources and limited access to international credit. By employing multiple regression analysis, the research reveals that while Chinese FDI contributes positively to the DRC's growth, its impact is statistically insignificant. The findings suggest a need for more effective strategies to leverage foreign investment for meaningful economic development.
