Analysis# Cameroon Total Investment
Cameroon's total investment reached 22.312% of GDP in 2026, matching its all-time peak. This represents a significant recovery from the 2020 low of 17.743% of GDP, when the pandemic disrupted economic activity. Over the 22-year period from 2004 to 2026, investment levels grew 18.3%, demonstrating sustained expansion despite cyclical pressures.
The 2020 contraction marked a critical turning point. From that trough, investment rebounded consistently, climbing steadily from 18.127% in 2021 through 20.714% in 2024 to reach current levels. The recent acceleration—gaining over 2 percentage points between 2024 and 2026—suggests strengthening economic confidence and capital deployment. This upward trajectory indicates continued investment momentum heading into 2027 and beyond.
