Cameroon: Public debt expected to reach 40.2% of GDP by 2027

Cameroon's public debt is expected to decrease from 41.2% of GDP in 2025 to 40.2% in 2027, according to Fitch Ratings. This decline is attributed to sustained economic growth and reduced fiscal deficits. The country maintains its debt ratio below 41%, thereby consolidating its credibility with international donors. The forecast of a fiscal deficit of 1.6% of GDP in 2026 and 1.8% in 2027 indicates a regained fiscal discipline following the pandemic.
