Cameroon has built CFA300 billion ($about $520 million) in conditional IMF-related budget support into its 2027 financing plan, representing 9.5% of projected financing needs.
The government has identified the absence of a new IMF program as a "major risk" to medium-term fiscal sustainability.
Cameroon plans to secure CFA300 billion in budget support in 2027 through a new economic and financial program with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
The previous IMF program, agreed in 2021 and later extended by one year, expired in July 2025.
Although regional approval remains a prerequisite, it will not automatically trigger a new IMF program for Cameroon.
