Economy and infrastructure

Cameroons per-capita GDP was estimated as US$2,300 in 2008, one of the ten highest in sub-Saharan Africa and is aiming to become an emerging country by 2035.


Cameroon has had a decade of strong economic performance, with GDP growing at an average of 4% per year. Since the late 1980s, Cameroon has been following programmes advocated by the World Bank and International Monetary Fund to reduce poverty, privatise industries, and increase economic growth.


Cameroon's natural resources are very well suited to agriculture and arboriculture. Most agriculture is done at the subsistence scale by local farmers using simple tools. They sell their surplus produce, and some maintain separate fields for commercial use.


Although press freedoms have improved since the first decade of the 21st century, the press is corrupt and beholden to special interests and political groups. Newspapers routinely self-censor to avoid government reprisals. The major radio and television stations are state-run and other communications, such as land-based telephones and telegraphs, are largely under government control.
