Mobilising external resources: Cameroon is preparing a long-term financing facility and transitional bridge financing

As part of the discussions initiated with a multilateral development institution for the establishment of a long-term financing facility backed by the State’s ESG Framework, the Republic of Cameroon is working to mobilize a facility with an indicative maturity of fifteen years, including a five-year grace period, under competitive financial terms.

Given the time required for the effective disbursement of this facility, the Republic is considering a short-term bridge financing of EUR 200 million, with an indicative maturity of three months, from a partner bank involved in the process. This transitional facility will be repaid upon mobilization of the long-term financing.
