Market study : How European investments contribute to industrialisation and development in Cameroon

The European Union through the External Investment Plan (EIP) supports African countries to attract foreign direct investment (FDI).

 

In line with this the European Union has documented data on EU companies investments in Cameroon "How European investments contribute to industrialisation and development in Cameroon" with focus on:

 

• Sectors, location, market outlook

 

• The European Union - Cameroon Economic Partnership Agreement

 

• European Union - Cameroon Trade

 

• COVID-19 Impact on European Companies in Cameroon

 

• Best Practices that could Improve the Business Climate in Cameroon

 

• European Support to Businesses in Cameroon

 

The Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) between Cameroon & the European Union entered into force in August 2014. Under the EPA all products originating from Cameroon can be exported to the EU duty-free & quotafree.

In return, Cameroon is gradually dismantling import duties on 80% of goods originating from the EU: the tariff dismantling started in August 2016 & will be fully effective by August 2029. Products under tariff dismantling are mainly industrial machines (pumps, generators, turbines,etc.), electrical equipment (transformers, capacitors,resistors, etc.), & certain chemicals.
