What the Data Shows
Cameroon’s GDP per person is compared between 1986 and 2024 on a current-US-dollar basis. The comparison uses 2 published values from World Bank, with each period and measurement basis stated. The 2024 value remains US$513, or about 26%, below the 1986 peak. Current-dollar values are not adjusted for inflation, so the page describes the published nominal series rather than real living standards.
