99 Foreword
FROM THE MINISTER OF FINANCE
The Directorate General of Taxation has just completed the implementation of a three-year strategic plan 2023-2025, the main results of which revolve around a significant increase in the tax resources mobilized for the benefit of the State, Decentralized Local Authorities and other public entities.
This progress, which testifies to the relevance and effectiveness of the multiple reforms undertaken, is essentially the result of the dynamism and professionalism of all the staff of the Directorate General of Taxation (DGT), motivated by an increased modernization of production methods and tools.
These performances of the DGT have also been made possible thanks to the constant support of our Technical and Financial Partners (TFPs), as well as the strong political support of the Government, under the very high impetus of the PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC, Head of State.
The progress made has been widely recognized, in particular and recently by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) through the Tax Administration Diagnostic Assessment Tool (TADAT), during the last assessment carried out from April 2 to 18, 2025, which established the Cameroonian Tax Administration as one of the best in Africa.
The progress made has been widely recognized, in particular and recently by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) through the Tax Administration Diagnostic Assessment Tool (TADAT), during the last assessment carried out from April 2 to 18, 2025, which established the Cameroonian Tax Administration as one of the best in Africa. They have enabled an in-depth transformation of the General Directorate of Taxes, which appears to date as one of the most efficient institutions in the administrative ecosystem of our country.
As commendable as they are, these many successes should not overshadow the areas of fragility that could be observed, given the many challenges and issues that our public finances have faced over time.
