This "multi-tranche framework agreement" is accompanied by a first disbursement of 70 million euros (45.9 billion CFA francs), representing the 2022 tranche of this budget support from France. The rest of the funds will be gradually disbursed until 2024. Date of the end of the new ongoing programme between Cameroon and the IMF.
