(Business in Cameroon) - Last May 18, Prime Minister Joseph Dion Ngute met with the Inter-Patronal Grouping of Cameroon (GICAM) to encourage local business owners to invest in the Presidential Plan for the reconstruction of the Northwest and Southwest regions ravaged by the sociopolitical crisis that started in late 2016.
During the meeting, the Prime Minister presented a comprehensive overview of the presidential plan and the private sector’s role in it.
“
The private sector contributes close to 70% of our country’s fiscal earnings. In 2019, those contributions were covering about 40% of the state budget. All those indicators prove the weight of the private sector in national wealth creation. They also demonstrate the significant role private companies can play in the reconstruction of disaster-stricken areas in our country,” he explained.
