As the British High Commissioner to Cameroon, I warmly welcome all investors and businesses interested in engaging with this vibrant and dynamic country. Cameroon, spanning an area of 475,442 km2, is strategically located at the heart of Africa, nestled along the Gulf of Guinea. With its unique geographical position, Cameroon serves as a privileged crossroads between Central and West Africa, offering unparalleled access to both regions. Its cultural proximity to both Anglophone (such as Nigeria) and Francophone (Central Africa) worlds, facilitated by the widespread use of English and French as official languages, further enhances its appeal as a business destination.
Membership in regional economic communities like the Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa (CEMAC) and the Economic Community of Central African States (CEEAC) grants Cameroon access to a market of over 300 million consumers, including neighbouring Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Sudan. Cameroon’s commitment to becoming an emerging economy by 2035 underscores its potential for growth and development.
Despite the challenges inherent in many business environments, Cameroon has many assets, including natural and human resources, sustained economic growth, and a diversified economy. Efforts to improve the business climate, such as the creation of regulatory bodies and investment promotion initiatives, demonstrate the government’s commitment to attracting foreign investment and fostering private enterprise. While there are hurdles to overcome, including infrastructure gaps and socioeconomic challenges, the British High Commission and organizations like the UK Chamber of Commerce are dedicated to providing assistance and guidance to businesses navigating the Cameroonian market. I look forward to more enduring partnerships to increase the prosperity of both countries.
Warm regards,
On behalf of the UK Cameroon Chamber of Commerce, it is my pleasure to extend a warm welcome to you. As the leading investment promotion partner of the British High Commission in Cameroon, we are dedicated to facilitating business between Cameroon and the United Kingdom. We work closely with the UK High Commission to Cameroon to promote trade and investment in Cameroon. The UK considers Cameroon a priority partner, evidenced by the over one billion-pound quota allocated for trade finance support from the UK Export Finance, of which only a small fraction has been utilized thus far. Moreover, the Economic Partnership Agreement between the UK and Cameroon, which is tariff-free, further underscores the importance of our bilateral economic relations. Cameroon presents abundant opportunities for investment, particularly in key sectors such as energy, which is fundamental to every economy.
Additionally, transport and communication infrastructure, including roads, bridges, and railways, holds significant importance for Cameroon’s development agenda. Since 2010, the UK has been actively involved in major infrastructure investments in Cameroon, reflecting strong commitment to the country’s growth and progress. Cameroon aims to transition from a potential productive country to an industrialized nation, offering substantial opportunities for investment and trade from the UK across diverse sectors such as education, agriculture, water, retail, and more.
Cameroon is a promising ground for mutually beneficial partnerships and collaborations. We invite you to explore the myriad of opportunities that Cameroon offers and to join us in contributing to its economic development and prosperity.
Warm regards,
