CEMAC: after 3.7% in 2025, growth would fall to 3% in 2026 according to BEAC

BEAC lowered its economic growth forecast for CEMAC to 3% in 2026, down from 3.2% in June, after 3.7% in 2025. Growth remains below its potential due to high dependence on imports, with calls for structural reforms and increased investments in energy and transport. Inflation is projected at 2.2% for 2026, slightly higher than 2025, but still below the 3% community threshold.
