Abstract

Cameroon: Basic Data ^1/

Sources: Cameroonian authorities; UNDP, Human Development Report, 1997; and staff estimates.

^{^1/}Fiscal year begins in July.

^{^2/}Starting in 1996/97, excluding information on two banks (Banque Méridien-BAIO Cameroun and Crédit Agricole du Cameroun), that were liquidated in October 1996 and June 1997, respectively; thus, there is a break in the series with respect to data for the past.

^{^3/}Including credit to financial institutions.

^{^4/}Based on the multilateral weights of the IMF’s Information Notice System, adjusted to include Nigeria, Korea and Indonesia, with weights totaling 14 percent for these three countries to reflect unrecorded trade with Nigeria and competition from Korea and Indonesia in Cameroon’s export markets.
