Cameroon

High Risk
AI Analysis Β· Updated daily

Cameroon is at high risk with a score of 62/100, primarily due to its 60% oil import dependency and limited gasoline reserves of 22 days, despite being a small oil producer. The Biya Refinery's insufficient capacity leaves the nation exposed to global market volatility, driving gasoline prices to $1.08/L. A significant 65% increase in fertilizer costs contributes to a moderate food risk, indicating growing pressure on agricultural production and food security. The outlook suggests continued economic strain from high energy costs and potential fuel shortages, which could further exacerbate food insecurity if global supply disruptions persist.
