(Business in Cameroon) - Recently, Cameroon posted a positive GDP for 2020, much to everyone’s surprise. Indeed, instead of the 0.8% growth the country posted, everyone was expecting a 2.6% contraction of the country’s economy. Also, the country’s debt-to-GDP ratio which decreased by 3.2% as of December 31, 2020, is now 43.7% instead of the 46.9% previously announced.
