Summary:

Produced largely through the efforts of people associated with the Africa Department of the International Monetary Fund, this publication reviews issues of oil and economic management in the CEMAC (Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa) region of Africa. Opening chapters address macroeconomic and growth challenges, and include discussions of determinants of non-oil growth and lack of infrastructure. The next set of chapters addresses management of oil wealth and poverty reduction. Finally, case studies of oil wealth management are presented for Cameroon, Chad, Congo, and Gabon.
