From Monday, July 4 to Thursday, July 7, 2025, in Brazzaville, the 32 Heads of Department appointed by Service Note No. 0947, signed on July 29 by the Minister of Finance, Budget, and Public Portfolio, Christian Yoka, were officially installed in their respective Directorates by representatives of the Director General of the Treasury.

In total, the newly appointed officials are from 9 Directorates, namely: the Directorate General of the Treasury (DGT); the Directorate of Control and Internal Audit (DCAI); the Directorate of Administrative and Financial Affairs (DAAF); the Directorate of Legal Affairs (DAJ); and the Directorate of Studies and Forecasting (DEP). The Directorate of Accounting Centralization (DCC); the Directorate of Revenue (DR); the Directorate of Expenditure (DD); and the Directorate of Banking Operations and Markets (DOBM).

These appointments are part of the reorganization of the Public Treasury, initiated by the Congolese government.

Context of the Treasury Reorganization

This context is marked by cash flow constraints and pressing current challenges. The transformation of the Treasury aims to strengthen its operational efficiency, its adaptability, and its resilience to obstacles hindering the execution of treasury operations. The objective is to improve the fluidity of public expenditure execution processes and strengthen the traceability of operations.

The Six Major Pillars of the Reorganization

First, there is the simplification of governance, which has been achieved through the management structure. This structure has been streamlined, with the elimination of two Deputy Director General (DDG) positions. From now on, the Director General will work with a single Deputy Director General (DDG), both appointed by decree issued by the Council of Ministers.

Next, the accounting function will be strengthened. In this regard, the creation of a Directorate of Accounting Centralization (DCC) reinforces the Treasury's accounting role by centralizing all operations of the Public Accountants Network.

The third area of ​​focus concerns the development of the banking dimension. This is where the operationalization of the Treasury's banking function takes shape, through the management of deposits and consignments for public bodies. This function is embodied by the creation of a Directorate of Banking Operations and Markets (DOBM).

The fourth area of ​​focus concerns the optimization of cross-functional departments. In this regard, two mergers have been implemented. The first merger involved internal control and audit. This consolidation was motivated by strategic and operational considerations. The second merger involved human resources, finance, and equipment. This merger within a Directorate of Administrative and Financial Affairs (DAAF) aims for an integrated budgetary approach and organizational simplification.

The restructuring of core functions is the fifth focus. In this regard, the Revenue Directorate (DR) is being reinstated to coordinate the activities of the various public revenue collection and recovery services across the country; and the Expenditure Directorate (DD) is being reinstated to ensure consistency in the execution of public spending.

The sixth major focus is IT streamlining. Here, the Treasury's Information Systems Directorate (DSI) is becoming an IT Department. This reform is part of a process of pooling IT resources at the ministerial level, for centralized and optimized management from the Minister's Office.

Ultimately, the new organizational structure of the Public Treasury aims to accelerate the digitization of administrative procedures; optimize the preparation of accounting documents; and facilitate the implementation of the Single Treasury Account (CUT). and to enable the State to honor its financial commitments, in accordance with applicable regulations.

It should be noted that, in addition to the nine Directorates mentioned above, the Directorate General of the Treasury includes a tenth entity called the Treasury Accountants Network (RCT).
