IMF Executive Board Concludes 2026 Article IV Consultation with Cameroon

March 30, 2026

  • The Cameroonian economy has been resilient to shocks, but growth slowed in 2025 as election-related disruptions affected economic activity in October and November.
  • Preliminary indications are that fiscal position weakened in 2025, with underperforming non-oil revenues and a slippage in current spending.
  • The outlook is cautiously favorable with growth expected to recover in 2026 and the fiscal stance expected to tighten. Downside risks could weigh on the outlook, notably tight financial conditions, reduced aid flows, volatile commodity prices, and security and climate related challenges.
