Private and economic investment in Cameroon

The public authorities in agreement with the private sector, are in search of the optimal solution which would allow the national economy to be more competitive in order to emerge at the horizon 2035. Indeed, one of the solutions lies in the capacity of the country to make private investment a factor of growth. It is in this perspective that this work aims to analyze the effects of private investment on economic growth in Cameroon according to the nature of the transmission channel. To achieve this, we presented the concepts of the study as well as the literature dealing with the link between them. Then, we proceeded to the empirical verification of the relationship between private investment and economic growth. A multiple linear regression model allowed us to relate these two concepts. Using the ordinary least squares (OLS) method in time series over the period 1990-2016, it emerges that private investment has a possible influence on economic growth in Cameroon through the direct and indirect transmission channel.
