World Bank: $5.01 billion approved for Cameroon, compared with $4.13 billion in signed commitments

Cameroon has $5.01 billion in World Bank board-approved financing for 21 projects, while signed financing agreements cover 18 active projects and total $4.129 billion. A Ministry of Economy statement issued on October 15, 2026, in Bangkok says the roughly $881 million difference does not necessarily represent funding awaiting signature or disbursement: project approval comes before financing agreements, and funds are released gradually. The approved projects comprise 15 national operations and six regional ones, but the ministry did not publish their list. The article also mentions $425 million approved in June for the Douala-Bangui corridor.
