The Heads of State of the Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa (CEMAC)<\/strong> , meeting in an extraordinary session in Yaound\u00e9<\/strong> on Monday, December 16, 2024, highlighted the need to adopt urgent measures<\/strong> to stabilize the regional economy. They stressed the importance of structural reforms<\/strong> and rigorous management of public finances<\/strong> in the face of a worrying economic situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A regional economy under pressure<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Declining foreign exchange reserves and weak growth<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Cameroonian President Paul Biya<\/strong> opened the discussions by warning of the worrying decline<\/strong> in CEMAC’s net foreign assets , stressing the urgency of corrective actions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“Our net foreign assets have been significantly reduced. This situation is worrying and calls for urgent action on our part to reverse this trend.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The region faces fragile economic growth<\/strong> , compounded by challenges such as dwindling foreign exchange reserves<\/strong> and complex fiscal management<\/strong> . The Heads of State stressed that if rapid reforms<\/strong> are not undertaken, the consequences for national economies and the sub-region could be disastrous<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Priority measures: reforms and budgetary rigour<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

CEMAC member states have agreed on a series of structural measures<\/strong> to stabilize regional finances:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Budget consolidation<\/strong>\u00a0to better control spending.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Strict debt management<\/strong>\u00a0to limit the risks of over-indebtedness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Strengthening banking regulations<\/strong>\u00a0and better management of\u00a0oil revenues<\/strong>\u00a0.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    According to Paul Biya, these actions are crucial to strengthen the economic resilience<\/strong> of the sub-region in the face of multiple shocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A call for international support<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Supporting economic transformation<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The heads of state also requested increased support from international partners<\/strong> to assist the region in its economic transformation<\/strong> , particularly in the management of revenues linked to natural resources such as oil<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Central African President Faustin-Archange Touad\u00e9ra<\/strong> highlighted the notable progress made despite the crises:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    “The numerous exogenous and endogenous shocks that CEMAC has experienced over the last decade have not had the better of our community space.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    He recalled that regional economic growth reached 2.7% in 2024<\/strong> , compared to only 1.1% in 2016<\/strong> , and that the level of foreign exchange reserves<\/strong> doubled thanks to the implementation of more than 60% of the agreed economic reforms<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Conclusion: A concerted vision for economic resilience<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Faced with growing economic challenges, CEMAC member states have demonstrated a common desire to redress the situation by strengthening structural reforms<\/strong> and seeking increased international support<\/strong> . The Yaound\u00e9 extraordinary session marks a decisive step towards ensuring the region\u2019s economic stability<\/strong> and resilience<\/strong> in an uncertain global context<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
