Mobilising large-scale international financing to deliver the 27 structuring PPP projects of the National Development Strategy 2020-2030.
Located at the crossroads of West and Central Africa, Cameroon is far more than a destination: it is a strategic partner for investors seeking sustainable growth, stability and high returns.
Geographic crossroads
Backing onto the Gulf of Guinea, Cameroon serves a regional market of more than 350 million inhabitants through CEMAC and CEEAC. The deep-water port of Kribi and the port of Douala provide privileged access to Chad, the Central African Republic and Congo.
Macroeconomic stability
Controlled inflation around 3-4%, a stable currency pegged to the euro eliminating exchange-rate risk for European investors, and proven resilience to recent external shocks (COVID-19, Ukrainian crisis).
The most diversified economy in CEMAC
Agriculture, mining, energy, services, industry: a multi-sector economic fabric that spreads risks and multiplies entry points for international investors.
Cameroon, regional hub
Strategic corridors, deep-water ports and special economic zones.
- Special Economic Zone (SEZ)
- Political capital
