The African Development Bank Group presented its 2026 Central Africa Regional Economic Outlook and Cameroon Country Focus Report in Yaoundé on 22 September. The regional outlook projects growth rising from 3.6% in 2025 to 3.8% in 2026 and 4.1% in 2027.
The report estimates annual financing needs of $42.9 billion by 2030 to accelerate structural transformation in Central Africa, with a $35.6 billion yearly gap. For Cameroon, it puts annual needs at $13.9 billion and the gap at $9.2 billion. The figures are report estimates, not financing commitments.

Measurement and privacy details
Google Analytics measurement starts only if you allow it. After consent, automatic measurement may cover scrolls, outbound link clicks, downloads, video engagement, site searches and basic form interactions; search terms may be detected from URL parameters. This site’s own code does not send form field values; email redaction in automatic measurement is best-effort, not guaranteed. Our manual page-view event uses a cleaned URL. You can change your choice later. Visits that begin with consent may also send numeric LCP, INP and CLS performance measurements after Analytics loads. A first or later grant starts this on the next page load; withdrawing consent stops these performance reports for this page. The preference cookie lasts six months; advertising measurement and personalization stay off.
Your browser is sending a Global Privacy Control signal. Analytics is off by default; you may explicitly change this choice here.
