The choice of the economy of the rent in the mining sector for a sustainable development as problematic which is essential in view of the exhaustibility of minerals, the effects of their exploitation methods and their consequences on the environment. This study answers the question of the economic choice that the DRC must make in order to achieve sustainable development from its mining sector. By taking the merits of the mining code of 2002, initiative of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund; and the innovations of the revised code of 2018, initiative of the Democratic Republic of Congo government, we propose the complementarity of the rent economy (code 2002) by a mixed economy. The state should not be satisfied only with the revenue from the exploitation of its minerals by foreign private mining companies, but also from the production deriving from the exploitation of Congolese public and private companies. The aim is to revive national production alongside foreign private production, condition for an inclusive economy, for sustainable development.

Abstract
The choice of the economy of the rent in the mining sector for a sustainable development as problematic which is essential in view of the exhaustibility of minerals, the effects of their exploitation methods and their consequences on the environment. This study answers the question of the economic choice that the DRC must make in order to achieve sustainable development from its mining sector. By taking the merits of the mining code of 2002, initiative of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund; and the innovations of the revised code of 2018, initiative of the Democratic Republic of Congo government, we propose the complementarity of the rent economy (code 2002) by a mixed economy. The state should not be satisfied only with the revenue from the exploitation of its minerals by foreign private mining companies, but also from the production deriving from the exploitation of Congolese public and private companies. The aim is to revive national production alongside foreign private production, condition for an inclusive economy, for sustainable development.

Abstract: (french)
Le choix de l'économie de la rente dans le secteur minier pour un développement durable est une problématique qui s'impose eu égard aux caractères épuisables de minerais, des effets des méthodes de leur exploitation et de leurs conséquences sur l'environnement. Cette étude répond à la question du choix économique que la RDC doit opérer pour atteindre le développement durable à partir de son secteur minier. En prenant les mérites du code minier de 2002, initiative de la Banque mondiale et du Fonds monétaire international ; et les innovations du code révisé de 2018, initiative du gouvernement de la République démocratique du Congo, nous proposons la complémentarité de l'économie de rente (code 2002) par une économie mixte. L’Etat ne doit pas se contenter que de la rente provenant de l'exploitation de ses minerais par les entreprises minières privées étrangers, mais aussi de la production provenant de l'exploitation des entreprises publiques et privées congolaises. Le but est de relancer la production nationale à côté de la production privée étrangère, condition d’une économie inclusive, pour un développement durable.
Author Keywords: économie de la rente, complémentarité de l’économie, économie mixte, production privée, production nationale, économie inclusive.
