Congo’s four-month ban on cobalt exports is under review, minister says

SINGAPORE (Reuters) -The Democratic Republic of Congo’s four-month ban on cobalt exports is under review, the country’s mines minister, Kizito Pakabomba, said at a cobalt industry conference in Singapore on Wednesday, without giving further details.

In February, the country imposed a four-month ban on cobalt exports to rein in oversupply of the battery metal on the international market.
