The city of Mweneditu has banking services, such as those of the [[Association Congolaise des Banques|Congolese Bank]]. There is also a forest rich in wood north of Kabinda.
== Transportation ==
Rail transport is important in Mweneditu, although it is in a very advanced state of disrepair. The district has only one airport in Kabinda, which is less significant for opening up the district and is practically unused by national standards. There are airstrips left by the Belgians in Kabinda, Gandajika, Luputa, and Muene Ditu, and a Presbyterian airstrip in [[Kasha, South Kivu|Kasha]] (7 km from Luputa). These airstrips are in a very advanced state of degradation. There is practically no aviation service in the entire district, which must depend on the Mbujimayi airport. Ngandajika and Lubao also have airstrips used only for humanitarian purposes by [[Non-governmental organization|NGO]]<nowiki/>s. Bicycles and currently motorcycles are the main means of transport; the district remains one of the poorest in the country and will face many challenges, such as maintaining the Mbuji-Mayi road towards Mwene-Ditu, which connects the main station to the diamond town, and constructing the Mbuji-Mayi - Kabinda road or paving numerous streets.
