Cemac: Non-performing loan ratio decreases from 17.4% to 15.4% in one year - Investir au Cameroun

The non-performing loan ratio in Cemac banks—covering Cameroon, Congo, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, Chad, and the Central African Republic—fell from 17.4% to 15.4% at the end of June 2026, according to a monetary policy report by the BEAC published on September 30, 2026. This two-point decrease reflects an improvement in the quality of bank credit portfolios, although the nominal amount of non-performing loans is not specified. The ratio's decline may also be due to faster growth in total loans compared to deteriorated credits.
