(Business in Cameroon) - Preparations are hotting up in the country for the first-ever Cameroon’s Investors Forum billed for November 19 – 24, 2013 at the multipurpose sports complex in Yaounde. Television spots and newspaper insertions are increasingly announcing the event which is expected to rally investors behind government’s vision to take the economy to a middle-income one by 2035.

Information garnered on a website specially created for the forum, indicates that sustainable investment has been a major concern of government ever since the country attained the completion point of the Heavily-indebted Poor Countries Initiative. “The forum will be an opportunity to continually seek ways of bringing to fruition the Head of State’s desire to revamp the economy,” the website notes.

The forum will be an opportunity to incite the creation of enterprises and new jobs, create a platform for public/private sectors concertation, network project owners and potential financiers, vulgarise the country’s investment charter as well as speed up investments in the country.

Participants will be government ministries, councils, public and para-public enterprises, banks, small and medium-size enterprises and industries, project owners and funding bodies among others.
