Poverty and growth in Cameroon during the post-devaluation period (1996-2001)

According to macroeconomic data, Cameroon recovered economic growth during the period between 1996 and 2001 following the devaluation of the CFA franc relative to the French franc which took place in January 1994. However, there is cause for concern across the country about the question as to whether the economic growth recorded in official statistics has trickled down to the various strata of society to improve the living conditions of the population, especially those of the poor. This paper therefore aims to address this issue by examining the extent, distribution, as well as the dynamics of poverty in Cameroon during the post-devaluation period between 1996 and 2001.
