2020
Congo scores higher than the average score of countries in its region and income group, but lower than the global average and top performing countries. There is ample room for improvement in Congo's cigarette tax system.
Component Score
2020
Congo scores well in affordability change, but scores lower in cigarette price, tax share, and tax structure. Congo would greatly benefit from increasing cigarette prices, increasing tax share of price, and improving tax structure.
Scores Over Time
