This December 16, 2024, Yaoundé, the capital of Cameroon, is hosting an extraordinary summit of heads of state and government of the Central African Economic and Monetary Community (CEMAC). This event is of great importance because it is devoted to the analysis of the fragile economic situation which threatens the stability of the sub-region.
According to several experts, it is facing stagnation in its growth, aggravated by internal and external factors, such as the global crisis, fluctuations in raw material prices and the effects of climate change.
