The socio<\/span>–<\/span>economic environment in 2022 was marked by inflationary pressures exacerbated by the conflict between <\/span>Russia and Ukraine, with the main repercussions on the na<\/span>tional economy being the disruption of global supply chains, <\/span>soaring oil prices, worsening of the trade deficit due to higher import prices and dollar appreciation. <\/span><\/span>In this rather unfavourable environment, enterprises in the modern sector of the economy s<\/span>howed resilience.<\/span> After a <\/span>9.6% increase in 2021, overall turnover excluding taxes rose by 17.4% in value terms in 2022.<\/span> This momentum was <\/span>mainly fuelled by five branches of activity that performed particularly well during the year. Compared to 2021 prices, <\/span>the turnover increased by 10.5%, slightly above the previous year\u2019s performance. <\/span><\/span>With the increase in the prices of raw materials, energy and maritime transport costs due to the long distance from <\/span>supply points,<\/span> enterprises had difficulty increasing their<\/span> value added and, consequently, making profits<\/span>. Nevertheless, <\/span>the outstanding performance of hydrocarbon extraction activities, on the one hand, and financial intermediation <\/span>activities on the other, had a positive impact on overall value added and profits.<\/span><\/span>
The number of permanent jobs increased by 2.8% in 2022<\/span>, allowing enterprises to catch up with the level of <\/span>employment before the covid<\/span>–<\/span>19 pandemic. This positive trend also generated productivity gains (+2.2<\/span> million<\/span> CFA <\/span>francs per employee compared to 202<\/span>1). <\/span><\/span>The pace of investment was less sustained (<\/span>–<\/span>2.6% compared to 2021<\/span>), as a result of the sluggishness of the primary <\/span>sector and manufacturing industry. Thus, productive capital continued to deteriorate, with the rate of aging of fixed <\/span>assets rising from<\/span> 55.2% in 2021 to 58.1% in 2022.<\/span><\/span>
As in 2021, enterprises\u2019 working capital was positive for the second time<\/span>, contributing to the improvement in their net <\/span>cash position. However, the net debt<\/span>–<\/span>to<\/span>–<\/span>equity ratio, which represents the ratio of financial debt to e<\/span>quity, stood at 1.1, <\/span>slightly above the sustainable limit of 1. <\/span><\/span>In a nutshell, enterprises were able to consolidate their post<\/span>–<\/span>Covid<\/span>–<\/span>19 level of activity<\/span>, though without generating more <\/span>value added and profits; with the exception of enterprises in the bran<\/span>ches of activity of extraction, agricultural export <\/span>and financial intermediation, which were able to take advantage of the decline in the effects of Covid<\/span>–<\/span>19 and the <\/span>repercussions of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","format":[583],"meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"annee":[],"region":[],"domaines":[],"class_list":["post-9925","statistique","type-statistique","status-publish","hentry","format-donnees-2"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ins-cameroun.cm\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/statistique\/9925","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ins-cameroun.cm\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/statistique"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ins-cameroun.cm\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/statistique"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ins-cameroun.cm\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/statistique\/9925\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16361,"href":"https:\/\/ins-cameroun.cm\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/statistique\/9925\/revisions\/16361"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ins-cameroun.cm\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9925"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"annee","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ins-cameroun.cm\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/annee?post=9925"},{"taxonomy":"region","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ins-cameroun.cm\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/region?post=9925"},{"taxonomy":"format","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ins-cameroun.cm\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/format?post=9925"},{"taxonomy":"domaine","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ins-cameroun.cm\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/domaines?post=9925"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
