Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa (CEMAC) Common Market Commissioner to Address Regional Cooperation at Congo Energy & Investment Forum (CEIF)
As an important leader of the Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa (CEMAC), CEMAC Common Market Commissioner Mbogo Ngabo Seli will serve as a special speaker at the Congolese Conference in Brazzaville Energy and Investment Forum (CEIF).
The mission of the Economic Community of Central Africa Common Market Department is to promote regional economic integration by promoting free trade, coordinating economic policies, attracting investment and enhancing competitiveness among member states. By harmonizing regulations and promoting cross-border cooperation, CEMAC supports the Republic of Congo’s efforts to double oil production, expand LNG exports and unlock new exploration and development opportunities. The regional body’s focus on infrastructure development, streamlined legislation and management of shared resources has strengthened the Republic of Congo’s position as a major player in Central Africa’s energy sector while enhancing its ability to meet production targets.
The first Congo Economic and Investment Forum will be held in Brazzaville from March 24 to 26, 2025, bringing together international investors and local stakeholders to explore national and regional energy and infrastructure opportunities. The event will explore the latest natural gas power projects and provide updates on expansions underway across the country.
As Commissioner, Selly is expected to share insights into CEMAC’s initiatives to promote economic integration and promote regional cooperation, highlighting their impact on advancing energy development in the Republic of Congo and Central Africa as a whole. During CEIF 2025, Seli will highlight how these efforts align with the Republic of Congo’s ambitious energy goals, including increasing oil and gas production and monetizing natural resources. These initiatives help strengthen the region’s energy infrastructure, facilitate intra-regional trade and enhance energy security.
As member states face the challenge of attracting more foreign investment into the energy sector, CEMAC’s role in strengthening energy cooperation and optimizing resource use across the region is particularly important. By sharing joint infrastructure projects such as LNG export terminals and cross-border pipelines, CEMAC aims to reduce operating costs, facilitate trade and create more competitive regional markets. By addressing regulatory inconsistencies and promoting greater policy coordination, CEMAC is laying the foundation for a more sustainable energy future in Central Africa, positioning the Republic of Congo and its neighbors for long-term growth and stability.
