Republic of the Congo has a dependency quotient of around 74%. This is taken by adding together the exports and imports, and dividing by the GDP. It gives an idea as to how much of the GDP depends on trade with other countries. If RoC were to lose their ability to trade with other countries, they would lose 74% of their GDP. France alone holds about 20% of the total exports and imports, and if RoC were to lose only that trade partner, their economy would be devastated. International trade is vital in keeping Republic of the Congo alive.
