Abstract: This work examines implications of joining the SADC Free Trade Agreement on the D.R.Congo economy, within computable general equilibrium framework. This objective passes by the analysis of the Congolese economy features through the 2005 social accounting matrix, empiric support of our model, on which is simulated the removing of 85% import tariffs. The results give an idea on the expected effects on trade creation and welfare, as well as the needed adjustment to the Congo capacity to fully participate in exchanges within this Free Trade Area.
