While positive growth was recorded in retailing in Cameroon during 2022, demand was under pressure due to the impact of the high inflation that was in effect throughout the year. In particular, many lower-income households struggled to make ends meet as the cost of living increased substantially over the course of the year. This led to pressure on consumer expenditure during 2022, with only moderate sales growth recorded across the retailing industry.
