Cameroon is showing resilience in an uncertain domestic and global environment. Growth is estimated at 3.8 percent in 2022, supported by non-oil production. Headline inflation is estimated at 7.3 percent at end-2022 year-on-year. The overall fiscal deficit improved from 3 percent of GDP in 2021 to around 1.1 percent of GDP in 2022 reflecting higher oil and non-oil revenues. The non-oil primary deficit remained unchanged at around 3.9 percent of GDP in 2022 owing to an increase in expenditure on fuel subsidies.

Fraudulent Scam Emails Using the Name of the IMF
We would like to bring to the notice of the general public that several variants of financial scam letters purporting to be sanctioned by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) or authored by high ranking IMF officials are currently in circulation, and may appear on official letterhead containing the IMF logo. The scam letters instruct potential victims to contact the IMF for issuance of a “Certificate of International Capital Transfer” or other forms of approval, to enable them receives large sums of monies as beneficiaries. The contact e-mail information is always BOGUS and unsuspecting individuals are then requested to send their personal banking details which the scammers utilize for their fraudulent activities.For more information please see Fraudulent Scam Emails Using the Name of the IMF
