Summary:

Cameroonian monetary developments in the first half of 2007 continued to be driven by high oil prices while inflation declined. Fiscal performance in the first half of 2007 was broadly satisfactory, although concerns about investment execution remain. Performance under the Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility (PRGF)-supported program over January-June 2007 was mixed, but corrective actions have been taken. The medium-term fiscal strategy aims at expanding priority spending while preserving macroeconomic sustainability. The authorities agreed that non-oil revenue mobilization remained key to ensuring fiscal sustainability.
