Cameroon GDP (1960–2025)

Overview

Cameroon's gdp stood at $60.6B in 2025, a rise of +$7.3B from 2024. The IMF projects $60.6B by 2025. Cameroon ranked 86th globally.

Cameroon's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has experienced a significant growth trajectory over the past 66 years, expanding from a low of $614.21 billion in 1960 to a high of $60.58 billion in 2025. Notably, this latter value places Cameroon at the 86th position globally. A comparison with peer countries reveals that Cameroon's GDP growth has remained relatively stable, with nearby Uganda boasting a comparable GDP of $64.99 billion. The country's economic development has been marked by steady progress, with no major downturns in recent years. However, the pace of growth in the 2020s has been relatively slow, a trend that may be attributed to various factors including the impact of the global economic slowdown and structural challenges within the Cameroonian economy. A sustained commitment to economic reform and investment in key sectors would be essential to re-establishing a more rapid growth trajectory and enhancing Cameroon's global economic standing.
