Browse all of Sub-Saharan Africa →Cameroon holds #110 on the headline ranking, against 42 others we score in Sub-Saharan Africa. None of them reach a stronger band than Cameroon; 17 sit in a weaker one. Their split: 25 in 50–65, 10 in 35–50, 7 in < 35. Uganda tops them at #26; Sudan closes them at #152. Closest either side of Cameroon: Congo, Rep. at #107 and Zambia at #113. 11 of the 42 are monitored rather than ranked — the dashes below. Mid-table is where the ranking moves most: a couple of points reshuffles several places. A falling score only costs places when a neighbour is close enough behind to pass. Same seven dimensions, same sources, same day.

Questions about the Cameroon score
- What does a score of 52.0 mean for Cameroon?
- 52.0/100, band 50–65: some of the discipline holds and some of it slips, which is what the middle looks like. That is 2.0 points above the 50 mid-point of the scale. Seven weighted dimensions produce the figure and no analyst adjusts it afterwards. Nothing in it is a forecast — it grades what Cameroon's central bank has already done, said and delivered.
- How often is Cameroon's score updated?
- Nightly, off that day's public releases; this page carries the 2026-09-10 run. It has come down from 52.1 across seven days, a loss of 0.1. A 90-day trailing average damps single prints, so a weekly move past a couple of points is a real one. Tomorrow's run replaces the 2026-09-10 figure outright rather than revising it in place.
- What is the 50–65 credibility band?
- Five bands cut the scale — ≥ 80, 65–80, 50–65, 35–50, < 35 — and 50–65 is step 3. Cameroon clears its 50 floor by 2.0 and stops 13.0 short of 65. The step above is 65–80 and the step below is 35–50. Bands grade monetary behaviour, not default risk, so none of this is a credit rating.
