Yaoundé Bypass: Paul Biya Authorizes Signing of Two Financing Agreements

A decree signed by Paul Biya on November 5, 2026, authorizes the minister of the economy, planning and regional development to sign two financing agreements for section T3, the priority segment of the Yaoundé bypass. The planned contract with the European Investment Bank is worth 150 million euros, or about 98.39 billion CFA francs, while the European Union is to provide an investment grant and technical assistance. The decree authorizes the signatures but confirms neither disbursement of funds nor a construction start date. The document gives inconsistent figures for the EU grant, which need clarification.
