Empirical analysis reveals strong cointegration in economic growth and energy transition in Congo, suggesting significant implications.
In a global context marked by climatic uncertainties, due to the use of fossil fuels, Congo has embarked on a new energy strategy for several decades aimed at developing renewable energy sources. This article analyzes the impact of the energy transition on economic growth in Congo-Brazzaville. To study the impact, we used the ARDL model as well as Granger causality tests on data from the period from 1990 to 2024. Our results show that there is a strong cointegration between our variables and confirm the neutrality hypothesis for the case of Congo. Our results also confirm the causal link between economic growth and the energy transition.
