Cameroon Infrastructure Report Q3 2012
- Language: English
- Published: June 2012
BMI View:
Cameroon’s construction sector faces favourable conditions over the medium term as the government continues to prioritise infrastructure investment as part of its 10-year economic plan.
Cameroon therefore ranks as one of the best locations in West Africa for infrastructure investments. In addition, high oil prices are swelling government coffers and facilitating ambitious infrastructure plans,
while Chinese funding remains dominant for mega-projects.
The key factors driving our outlook this quarter are:
- China First Highway Engineering Company was awarded a contract to build a motorway between Douala and Yaounde in China. The six-lane motorway will reduce the distance travelled between the two cities from 265km to 215km. It also aims to foster trade within the central African region, particularly within Cameroon, the Central African Republic and Chad.
The bridge will be funded by China Export Import Bank, which has signed a US$467mn loan agreement.
- The World Bank has announced that it will provide a US$132mn loan for the Lom Pangar Hydroelectric Power Project in Cameroon. The project will increase the hydroelectric power
