Le gouvernement congolais a justifié sa décision par la nécessaire « stabilisation du marché face à la surabondance de l’offre », qui a divisé les prix par quatre en trois ans.
The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), the world's largest cobalt producer, has suspended cobalt exports for four months to stabilize the market after a price drop caused by oversupply. Analysts warn this move could deter investors and push buyers towards alternative solutions. The oversupply is attributed to increased production, especially from China Molybdenum, and the rise of cobalt-free batteries.
