Cameroon: Ex Post Assessment of Longer-Term Program Engagement

International Monetary Fund

No 2005/189, IMF Staff Country Reports from International Monetary Fund

Abstract: This Ex Post Assessment of Longer-Term Program Engagement for Cameroon highlights that the strengthening non-oil revenue and improving expenditure monitoring and control are critical to strengthening the fiscal position. Structural policies aimed at improving competitiveness and promoting private sector development, including by strengthening the financial sector, have been important to raise Cameroon’s productive potential and generate employment. In both macroeconomic and structural policies, improving governance including through more transparency and accountability has been assigned a high priority.
