YAOUNDÉ, CAMEROON – Cameroon’s economy is set to grow at an average of just 3.9% between 2025 and 2028, according to the World Bank’s latest Cameroon Economic Update published Tuesday. The new forecast is well below both earlier projections and the country’s own development ambitions, raising fresh concerns about debt sustainability, investment risks, and structural imbalances.
