The Fiscal and Monetary Policy Sub-Section of the Economic Affairs Division of the Nkafu Policy Institute has a dual mission.
Firstly, it is responsible to analyse and evaluate the effects of the decisions of the Bank of Central African States (BEAC) on access to credit, interest rates of commercial Banks and the evolution of consumer prices in Cameroon.
Secondly, this service analyses all the fiscal laws adopted in Cameroon and the consequences of their implementation on business development.
It currently publishes two analytical reports for policy-makers to implement evidence-based and economically informed policies: These are:
- The Monetary Policy Report
- The Fiscal Policy Letter
The Monetary Policy Report is published quarterly (4 numbers per year) Based on the periodicity of Monetary Policy Committee of the BEAC meetings. The Fiscal Policy Letter is published according to a “monthly” calendar (i.e., at the end of each month).
