Because of its offshore oil resources and favorable
agricultural conditions, Cameroon has one of the best-endowed, most
diversified primary commodity economies in sub-Saharan Africa. Still,
it faces many of the serious problems facing other underdeveloped
countries, such as political instability, a top-heavy civil service,
and a generally unfavorable climate for business enterprise. The
development of the oil sector led rapid economic growth between 1970
and 1985. Growth came to an abrupt halt in 1986, precipitated by steep
declines in the prices of major exports: coffee, cocoa, and petroleum.
