“We have reason to be optimistic about economic recovery and an uptick in our growth rate to 4.2 percent in 2022, from 3.6 percent in 2021. This positive outlook is consistent with that of a global return to growth as announced by the relevant international bodies. Our country has the capacity to make the most of this situation,” Biya said in a televised address to the nation Friday evening. “The government must also continue discussions with the private sector to identify further measures that can be implemented. If we have to meet the growth challenge, we must strive to reduce our imports and increase the volume of our exports by boosting domestic production,” Biya said.
