A comparison that, if done well, cannot hide the variations in performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"textearticle texte\" align=\"justify\"><span lang=\"fr-FR\">In absolute terms, Cameroon's GDP has fallen over the last two quarters. It was already down 1% in the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to the previous three months, and Q1 2019 GDP is actually down 5.6%, compared to the last quarter of 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"textearticle texte\" align=\"justify\"><span lang=\"fr-FR\">Moreover, we note that the dynamism of the tertiary sector, claimed by the accounts for the first quarter of 2019, hides a certain slowdown. Its contribution to GDP was 2110.1 billion CFA francs during the period. This is the lowest figure since the second quarter of 2018. A similar slowdown was observed in the secondary (processing) and primary (basic manufacturing) sectors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"textearticle texte\" align=\"justify\"><span lang=\"fr-FR\">A final point of concern is that both consumption and investment have declined. Private and public investments are on a downward trend. Cameroon faces numerous headwinds both in terms of the domestic situation and internationally. Its main export commodity (oil) and other export products have seen a drop in prices since the beginning of the year and this has generated this downward trend.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Invest in Cameroon) - Cameroon's national accounts for the first quarter, published by the National Institute of Statistics (NSI), show an increase in gross domestic product (GDP) of 4.2%. \"This performance stems from the dynamism of activities in the three sectors (manufacturing, secondary and tertiary)\". , reads the document. ... <\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more-container\"><a title=\"Africa - 4.2% growth recorded by Cameroon in Q1 2019\" class=\"read-more button\" href=\"https:\/\/aedic.eu\/en\/doing-business-in-africa\/africa-growth-of-42-reported-by-cameroon-in-the-first-quarter-of-2019\/#more-9902\" aria-label=\"More on Africa - 4.2% growth recorded by Cameroon in Q1 2019\">Read more<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9903,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"iawp_total_views":11,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[145,227,232,234,289],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aedic.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9902"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aedic.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aedic.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aedic.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aedic.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9902"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/aedic.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9902\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aedic.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9903"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aedic.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9902"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aedic.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9902"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aedic.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9902"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
