The publication of this edition of the Transport Statistical Yearbook (TRANSTAT 2019), which is the fourth of its kind, is happening in the particular context of the end of the 2016-2018 triennium, which has been extended to 2019, in order to align the budgetary calendar with the new national development strategy, the implementation of which will take effect as from 2020. It constitutes an important contribution by the Ministry of Transport to the implementation of Cameroon's National Strategy for Statistical Development. TRANSTAT 2019 provides data in the various transport sub-sectors (aviation, maritime, road and railway) as well as information in the area of meteorology. Like the previous editions, for each sub-sector, it presents analyses on some statistical trends on the one hand and, on the other, summary tables of statistical data. The sources of its data come from technical structures, decentralized services and structures under the technical supervision of the Ministry of Transport, namely: the National Port Authority (APN), the Autonomous Port of Douala (PAD), the Autonomous Port of Kribi (PAK), the Cameroon National Shippers' Council (CNSC), the Cameroon Civil Aviation Authority (CCAA); the Aéroports du Cameroun (ADC); Cameroon Railways Corporation (CAMRAIL), or partners such as the Land Freight Management Bureau (BGFT), High Tech Telesoft (HTT), and the Presbyterian Printing Press (PRESPRINT). Within the framework of the monitoring of transport policy, in accordance with its missions contained in its organic decree no. 2012/250 of 1 June 2012, the Ministry of Transport is constantly improving its Statistical Information System (SIS) in order to allow a better centralization of information from the various structures that produce statistical data in the transport sector. Transtat 2019, which is essential for the development and monitoring of transport policies, is also a strategic information tool for the general public. It is available in digital format on the website of the Ministry of Transport (www.mint.gov.cm) (www.mint.gov.cm). iv Transport Statistics Yearbook 2019 Edition Annuaire Statistiques des Transports I would not conclude this foreword without expressing my sincere thanks to all those who, in one way or another, participated in the preparation of this valuable document. I wish every reader of TRANSTAT 2019 a judicious use to achieve the objectives assigned to the transport sector in the "Vision 2035" for the emergence of Cameroon, as desired by the Head of State, His Excellency Paul BIYA. v Transport Statistics Yearbook 2019 Edition Annuaire Statistiques des Transports GENERAL INTRODUCTION 1. Transport: a key sector for GDP growth According to the National Accounts reports of the National Institute of Statistics, the tertiary sector is the main driver of economic growth (Figure 1), with transport proving to be particularly dynamic. Boosted by the good health of transport and logistics (21.25% of the sector's revenue, up from 8.9% in 2012), the share of the tertiary sector in the country's GDP exceeded 47% in 2011. However, the fourth quarter of 2015 was marked by a decline in growth in the tertiary sector, which fell to -1.2% compared to the corresponding period in 2014. This is attributable, among other things, to a decline in public administration purchases of goods and services and a slowdown in the fourth quarter of 2015 in transport, hotels and restaurants and trade and repair activities. Economic activity has been robust, although, due to the decline in oil production, the rate of growth of real gross domestic product (GDP) slowed to 5.1% against 5.9% in 2015. On the other hand, the value added of the non- oil sector increased by 5.6% against 5.1% in 2015, mainly due to the improvement of energy supply, as well as the dynamism of the construction, transport, hotel and catering sectors, particularly in view of the organisation of the Women’s African Cup of Nations (AFCON). An upsurge was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2016. The tertiary sector was positioned as the driver of economic growth, with an increase of +8.9% compared to the fourth quarter of 2015. This performance of the tertiary sector was the result of the good performance of activities in almost all branches, in connection with the end of year festivities, associated with the organization of the Women's AFCON in November 2016. The activities of the transport branch increased greatly (+7.7%). In the fourth quarter of 2017, the tertiary sector continued to support the dynamic of economic growth, with a 3.3% increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2016. This performance of the tertiary sector was the result of the good performance of activities in almost all branches. The sector contributed 1.7 points to the quarterly GDP growth. However, the second quarter of 2018 was marked by a slowdown in the growth rate of the tertiary sector, with a 4.7% increase compared to the second quarter of 2017. Despite a decline in the growth rate observed since the third quarter of 2017, the tertiary sector remained the driver of economic growth with a contribution of 2.4 points during this quarter. The growth observed in the sector reflected sustained activity in almost all industries. The increase in the services sector was also linked to the good performance 6 Transport Statistics Yearbook 2019 Edition Annuaire Statistiques des Transports of activities in the sub-sectors of professional and technical business services (0.4 point), transport activities (0.23 point), particularly air transport, and information and telecommunications activities (0.22 point) thanks to the introduction of 4G technology
