A CONVERSATION WITH CAMEROON’S MINISTER OF ECONOMY, ALAMINE OUSMANE MEY - As part of its annual dialogue series—held each year during the IMF and World Bank Spring Meetings—the Africa Center, in cooperation with the GeoEconomics Center, hosted Cameroon’s Minister of Economy, Planning, and Regional Development, Alamine Ousmane Mey.

This moderated discussion focused on the country’s economic environment, covering everything from its rebound from the COVID-19 pandemic, the enduring consequences of the Ukraine war, as well as regional challenges and efforts to stabilize against global inflation. The minister’s stay in Washington also offered an opportunity to discuss US-Cameroon bilateral relations and the impact of the recent US-Africa Leaders Summit.
