  • The Bank of Central African States (BEAC) has raised its economic outlook for the Central African Economic and Monetary Community (CEMAC) in 2026.
  • Following the second regular meeting of its Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) on June 29 in Yaoundé, the central bank now expects the six-member bloc’s economy to grow by 3.2% this year.
  • Growth is still projected to slow from 2025, and the region’s external position remains heavily dependent on commodity exports.
