Congo Orders Cobalt Miners to Give Up Unused Export Quotas

In the Democratic Republic of Congo, the government has mandated that cobalt miners relinquish any unused export quotas from the first half of the year to a government regulator. This move aims to ensure better allocation and control over the country's resources, which are crucial for the global electronics and renewable energy sectors. By enforcing this policy, Congo seeks to prevent waste and bolster its economic strategy, highlighting the importance of efficient resource management in a key mining hub.
