CameroonCameroon and IMF hold High-level economic consultations in Yaounde
© MINFI The Minister of Finance, Louis Paul MOTAZE, hosted a consultation meeting on Thursday, September 17, 2026, at his office in Yaounde with a visiting delegation from the International Monetary Fund - IMF. The delegation was led by Christine DIETERICH, the IMF Mission Chief for Cameroon, alongside key senior collaborators from the ministry. The primary purpose of this visit is to conduct a periodic review of the nation’s macroeconomic and fiscal framework in accordance with standard statutory obligations applicable to all IMF member states. This high-level dialogue follows the successful completion of Cameroon's 2021–2025 Economic and Financial Programme, which formally concluded in July 2025. As a result, Cameroon is currently no longer operating under an active IMF-supported program. Consequently, the ongoing mission operates under the framework of regular economic surveillance and bilateral consultation mandated by Article IV of the IMF’s Articles of Agreement, rather than serving as a formal program review tied to financial disbursements. During the discussions, both parties focused on key aspects of the Cameroonian economy, evaluating recent macroeconomic trends, medium-term growth prospects, and the current state of public finances. Special attention was devoted to debt sustainability and the government's strategic budgetary directions moving forward. These evaluations aim to ensure that the national financial strategy remains aligned with sound macroeconomic principles. The consultation provided an essential opportunity for both sides to take stock of the milestones and lessons learned from their prior financial cooperation while addressing lingering structural challenges. Representatives from the IMF mission shared actionable observations and recommendations intended to reinforce public finances, safeguard macroeconomic stability, and foster long-term, sustainable, and inclusive economic growth. Moving forward, the collaborative assessment reinforces the ongoing strategic partnership between Cameroon and the IMF. By maintaining open lines of communication and incorporating global economic insights, the Cameroonian government aims to consolidate recent fiscal gains, tackle persistent macroeconomic hurdles, and establish a resilient foundation for future financial stability.

Held under the theme "Valorization of traditional pharmacopoeia: A strategic lever for promoting Made in Cameroon," the event brought together university researchers, traditional healers, healthcare professionals, and government representatives at the Amphitheater 700 of the Faculty of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences to explore ways to transform ancestral knowledge into a modern economic force. Speaking on behalf of the Minister of Scientific Research and Innovation, the Secretary-General of MINRESI highlighted the vast potential of local traditional remedies to bolster national health self-reliance and preserve cultural heritage. She urged stakeholders to step up scientific research, secure legal protection for indigenous knowledge, and establish strong synergies between traditional practices and modern medicine. In his keynote address, the Minister of State situated the conference within the policy directions set by the President of the Republic, His Excellency Paul Biya, regarding healthcare development and the optimal use of national resources. Prof. Jacques Fame Ndongo emphasized that traditional pharmacopoeia spans multiple sectors including public health, academic research, innovation, industry, and commerce. He also insisted on applying rigorous scientific standards to traditional medicine. He specifically stressed the imperative of characterizing active ingredients, establishing standardized dosages, identifying side effects, and upholding strict ethical guidelines. This initiative comes at a pivotal moment, following the landmark legislation passed on December 23, 2024 (Law No. 2024/018), which regulates the practice and organization of traditional medicine in Cameroon. The keynote lecture, delivered by Emmanuel Albert Mpondo Mpondo, Emeritus Professor of Pharmacognosy, addressed the development of the national pharmaceutical industry through university training, targeted research, and entrepreneurship focused on local medicinal plants. The symposium concluded with the adoption of 55 action-oriented resolutions structured around four primary thematic axes. These measures aim to strengthen the legal framework, accelerate research and development, and integrate traditional pharmacopoeia into mainstream national healthcare and industrial strategies, helping propel Cameroon toward its 2035 Emerging Nation vision.
