FDI & Investment Climate: A new UNIDO-IPA report on Cameroon’s business climate, based on surveys of 75 foreign direct investment firms (2023–2025), says nearly half are “strong anchors” driving over 92% of surveyed jobs, with US$86.1m already reinvested and US$166.8m planned—though only 44% have turned expansion intentions into concrete plans. Parliament & Mining Governance: Cameroon’s House Speaker Theodore Datouo urged stronger transparency and oversight in mining, plus answers on how revenues are collected, managed and shared, as MPs push for reforms on land tenure and public policy results. Urban Infrastructure & Transport: AFD’s PLIDY programme is advancing flood-control and mobility works in Douala and Yaoundé, including two modern bus stations and intersection redevelopments, with environmental and social safeguards built in. Agri-Exports: Cameroon banana exports rose 19.9% year-on-year to 106,447 tons in Jan–May 2026, led by Compagnie Fruitière subsidiaries, despite dry-season pressure. Trade Diplomacy: Cameroon and the UAE opened talks on a possible Comprehensive Investment Partnership Agreement to grow non-oil trade (US$1.24bn in 2024) and shift investment toward value-added industries. Internships & Skills: The Higher Education Ministry signed partnerships with Sopecam, Camtel and CCAA to expand internships in media, telecoms and civil aviation—aiming to cut youth unemployment and improve job-ready skills. Road Projects (Regional Industry Link): Nigeria’s works minister Dave Umahi says colonial-era road corridors are being revived under Tinubu’s agenda, including the Calabar–Ebonyi–Benue Trans-Saharan Superhighway, with dualisation and phased progress—relevant to regional logistics and agricultural trade corridors.
