Abstract: This study aims to describe the phenomenon of dollarization in the DRC, while specifying its nature and form, before identifying its causes and consequences in the form of advantages and disadvantages. According to the descriptive approach, it is noted that the Congolese economy is "dollarized", although it is a partial dollarization due to the fact that the national currency still has a small margin in transactions, and this dates back to the 90s, following hyperinflation and institutional and political crises. This phenomenon causes the country more harm than good as long as it constitutes a burden in the implementation of effective economic policies and causes the country to lose its monetary sovereignty and seigniorage revenues. To remedy this, it wants to initiate structural reforms and put in place strategies to stabilize and give sufficient credibility to the national currency over a long period, without creating financial instability, or capital flight or foreign divestment.
