In the fourth quarter of 2025, Cameroon’s external position improved significantly compared with the third quarter of 2025. The current account deficit narrowed from 614.8 billion in the third quarter to 381.6 billion in the fourth quarter, reflecting the combined effects of an improvement in the services balance, a decline in net primary income outflows, and an increase in secondary income. However, the goods deficit remained substantial, as import growth continued to outpace export growth.
The financial account recorded an increase in net capital inflows, mainly driven by direct investment and external financing mobilized by the general government. These developments resulted in an overall balance surplus of 146.3 billion, following a deficit of 509.1 billion recorded in the previous quarter.
