Overview
Cameroon's gdp ppp stood at $173.0B in 2025, a rise of +$10.3B from 2024. The IMF projects $173.0B by 2025. Cameroon ranked 82nd globally.
Cameroon’s gross domestic product at purchasing power parity has risen from 11,537,000,000.00 in 1980 to an all‑time peak of 173,034,000,000.00 in 2025, placing the country 82nd in the world and slightly above Costa Rica’s 169,154,000,000.00 while remaining below Tunisia’s 186,259,000,000.00. This 14‑fold increase over 46 years reflects sustained expansion of the agricultural sector, gradual diversification into services, and modest industrial growth, although the pace has been uneven and often constrained by infrastructural bottlenecks and periodic political instability. Compared with peers such as Nepal, which records a comparable PPP GDP of 182,016,000,000.00, Cameroon’s trajectory suggests a narrowing gap in absolute output but still lags in per‑capita terms. Continued investment in energy, transport and human capital, together with reforms to improve the business climate, will be crucial if the upward trend is to be maintained and the country moves higher in the global ranking.
