[edit] History
The Central Bank of Congo began in 1952 as the Banque Centrale du Congo-Belge et du Ruanda-Urundi, or BCCBRU, a regional central bank. After independence in 1960, the financial structure of the Belgian Congo's economy was reorganized and the Banque Nationale du Congo was created in 1964.
Mr Jean-Claude Masangu Mulongo is currently the governor of the bank.
