Industrial producer prices in Cameroon rose 1.4% in the first quarter of 2026 from the previous three months, driven largely by higher oil prices. The increase points to renewed cost pressures at the factory gate, although it does not necessarily mean higher prices for consumers.

It was the second consecutive quarterly increase, following a 1.1% rise in the fourth quarter of 2025. Compared with the first quarter of last year, however, industrial producer prices were up a more modest 0.8%, according to an Aug. 7 report from Cameroon’s National Institute of Statistics (INS).

Cameroon imported more fish and milk powder in 2025 despite a government program designed to increase domestic production and reduce reliance on foreign supplies, highlighting the gap between the country’s import-substitution targets and results on the ground.

Fish and crustacean imports climbed 29% to 267,601 metric tons from 207,408 tons a year earlier, according to provisional data from the National Institute of Statistics (INS). The bill rose even faster, increasing 37.8% to CFA231.3 billion.

The planned absorption of Guinness Cameroon SA (GCSA) by Société Anonyme des Boissons du Cameroun (SABC) is expected to strengthen BGI’s control of the brewer, raising its stake from 84.12% to nearly 88%, according to calculations by Business in Cameroon.

Subject to approval of the merger and assuming the ownership structure reported at the end of 2025 has not changed, BGI’s stake would reach about 87.93%. The combined share of all other investors would fall from 15.88% to 12.07%, even though they would not sell any shares.

Alios Finance Cameroon has extended its CFA13 billion bond offering to Sept. 10, giving the lender more time to secure investors as it seeks to raise 44.4% more than it actually obtained from the Central African regional market last year.

The subscription period had been scheduled to close Aug. 7 after an earlier extension, company officials contacted by Investir au Cameroun said. Alios Finance has not disclosed how much has been subscribed so far or the specific reasons for the latest delay.

Cameroon has awarded six contracts worth a combined CFA3.77 billion to rehabilitate 136.3 kilometers of rural roads in the Adamawa region, part of a broader program designed to make it easier for farmers and livestock producers to reach markets.

The contracts were awarded under the Rural Development Project for the North and Adamawa Regions, Rural Infrastructure Components I and II (PDR-NA-IR), according to tender results published by the project’s coordination unit. The work is expected to take 15 months and includes repairs to unpaved roads, construction of bridges and other structures, and measures to prevent erosion.

Fintech platform BluPay has entered the Cameroonian market with a WhatsApp-based service designed to facilitate cross-border payments using blockchain technology and stablecoins. The platform was officially launched in Yaounde on August 15, making Cameroon the fifth African market in which the company operates. Its other markets are Ghana, Kenya, South Africa and Mauritius.

BluPay also says its infrastructure enables users in these African markets to receive payments from European countries, the United Kingdom and the United States. Unlike conventional financial applications, BluPay does not require users to download software from the App Store or Google Play Store. Customers save the company’s WhatsApp number on their phones and communicate with an automated interface to initiate transactions.

Canyon Resources has dropped its target for the first bauxite exports from Cameroon’s Minim-Martap deposit after AFG Bank Cameroon suspended further loan disbursements, adding a new financing hurdle to unresolved logistics that have repeatedly delayed the project.

The Australian junior miner disclosed the change in an update published Aug. 24. The announcement prompted the Australian Securities Exchange to immediately reinstate trading in Canyon shares, which the company had voluntarily suspended on Aug. 20 while it prepared further information on Minim-Martap’s financing and development schedule.

Data now accounts for more than half of MTN Cameroon’s service revenue, underscoring a shift in the telecom operator’s business toward internet services as it commits a growing share of capital to support network demand.

Data revenue reached 3.45 billion rand in the first half of 2026, or about CFA120.3 billion based on MTN’s average exchange rate for the period, according to half-year results released Aug. 24. It represented 50.8% of the company’s service revenue, up from 45.3% a year earlier. The ratio, based on MTN Cameroon’s total service revenue of 6.79 billion rand, reflects the changing composition of the operator’s business. Data revenue rose 25.5% at constant currency, more than twice the 11.8% increase in overall service revenue.

Cameroon will begin blocking mobile phones that have not cleared customs from telecom networks on Sept. 1, tightening enforcement of a system designed to collect duties and taxes on devices entering the country through informal channels.

Finance Minister Louis Paul Motaze announced the measure in a recently published notice. It marks a new stage in the customs collection system introduced under a reform launched in 2023.

Cameroon’s National Mining Corporation, Sonamines, has opened the door to direct negotiations with investors for the Lomié-Nkamouna cobalt, nickel and manganese deposit and the Akonolinga rutile block after international searches for partners failed to produce a qualifying candidate.

In two notices dated August 18, 2026, the state-owned company said no applicant met the selection criteria for either project. Sonamines is now seeking investors with the technical expertise and financial capacity required to advance the two long-stalled mining assets.
