| Sonara is the most indebted public company in Cameroon |
Camair Co and Sonara are the most indebted public companies in Cameroon, according to the recent note on public debt published by the National Sinking Fund (CAA).
The note explains that out of the XAF833 billions of public companies’ provisional debt, XAF826 billion is owed by the two companies. With XAF704 billions of provisional debt, Sonara owes the majority (as it has been doing for years now) while Camair-Co owes XAF122 billion.
The CAA indicates that the provisional estimate is not complete yet, since it is still collecting information to evaluate the real extent of public companies' and institutions’ debts.
This means that the final estimate of public companies’ debts on September 30, 2020, would be higher than the current estimate given the problems they encountered lately and given their history of underperformance. For instance, the Technical Commission for the Rehabilitation of Enterprises in the Public and Para-public sectors recently revealed that in 90% of the public companies, employment costs exceed 30% of yearly turnovers and sometimes go as high as 70%.
In 2017, the Ministry of Finance estimated the 37 public companies’ debts at XAF2,624.4 billion. At the time, Sonara, Camtel, Camwater, Electricity Development Corporation, and Sodecoton were the five most indebted public companies. Sonara’s debt was XAF763.2 billion, XAF554.5 billion for Camtel, XAF352.4 billion for Camwater, XAF140.4 billion for Electricity Development Corporation, and XAF113.1 billion for Sodecoton.
On October 11, 2019, U.S. rating agency Moody's published a report on Cameroon’s economy. In its report, the rating agency estimated that public companies’ debts were weakening the government’s efforts to consolidate public finances.
I wanted to take a moment to share my personal journey because I know how isolating and overwhelming it can feel to live with a chronic diagnosis like HSV-2. For years, I struggled with the physical and emotional toll this virus took on my life, and honestly, I had almost given up hope after being told by multiple doctors that there was no real cure. It was a dark time, and it deeply affected my confidence and my personal relationships. Everything changed when I stumbled upon a forum where someone shared their own experience with Dr. Kham herbal remedies. I’ll be honest—I was incredibly skeptical at first, having already tried so many things that didn't work. However, the sincerity in their story pushed me to reach out. From the moment I contacted him, he was professional and truly attentive to everything I had been going through. He guided me through the process of using his herbal regimen, and after following his instructions carefully, I was absolutely stunned to see such a positive turn in my health. Getting back to a place where I feel like myself again has been nothing short of a miracle. I am sharing this simply because I know there are others out there searching for answers and feeling like they have nowhere left to turn. If you have been struggling with health issues like HSV-2, HPV, HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis, Lupus or other chronic conditions, I genuinely recommend reaching out to him.
