Congo: Why the conflict in the Pool region matters
*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
Wood Mackenzie's sister company, Verisk Maplecroft, examines the latest developments in the Republic of Congo. President Dénis Sassou-Nguesso’s contentious election victory in March 2016 has resulted in the return of a low-intensity conflict to the Pool region. The conflict is extremely unlikely to directly impact oil and gas operations. Yet fighting between government forces and the ex-Ninja rebels has lingered on for more than a year, devastating the country’s economy, its infrastructure and the morale of its army. The situation is likely to worsen in the coming months, generating indirect implications for oil and gas companies.
