The main driver of these structural changes remains the private sector. The purpose of this study is to analyze the contribution of industrial policy to the DRC economic development for period 2010-2016. This is to evaluate the strength of the linkages between different industries and determine how the structure of the DRC’s economic activities can guide the choice of development. Furthermore the study tried to find the causality of the industry policy and GDP, how much do the sectors predict the GDP.
