This is owing to increased activity in the food agriculture sector (4.3 percent) and in forestry and logging (4.0 percent). Livestock farming and fisheries, on the one hand, grew by 3 percent and 2 percent, respectively. Industrial and commercial agriculture, on the other hand, experienced a slowdown, on the one hand, with a growth rate of –2.3 percent in 2006 compared with 1.7 percent in 2005.IMF Staff Country Reports; Country Report ;No. 2008/001PovertyGovernment policyCameroonBudgetingimfInvestments: CommoditiesimfMacroeconomicsimfLabor Economics: GeneralimfEducation: GeneralimfHealth: GeneralimfNational BudgetimfBudget SystemsimfAgriculture: GeneralimfLabourimfincome economicsimfEducationimfHealth economicsimfBudgeting & financial managementimfInvestment & securitiesimfLaborimfHealthimfBudget planning and preparationimfAgricultural commoditiesimfPublic financial management (PFM)imfCommoditiesimfLabor economicsimfBudgetimfFarm produceimfCameroonEconomic conditionsCameroonimfPovertyGovernment policyBudgetingInvestments: CommoditiesMacroeconomicsLabor Economics: GeneralEducation: GeneralHealth: GeneralNational BudgetBudget SystemsAgriculture: GeneralLabourincome economicsEducationHealth economicsBudgeting & financial managementInvestment & securitiesLaborHealthBudget planning and preparationAgricultural commoditiesPublic financial management (PFM)CommoditiesLabor economicsBudgetFarm produceDcWaIMFBOOK9910788539803321Cameroon3670927UNINA
