What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

EPC reported 46% growth in Gabon during the first half of 2026. However, the company reported an 11% decline in its Cameroon business in the same period. This decline followed a 75% slump in the final quarter of 2025, when deliveries were suspended during Cameroon's election period. EPC attributed the issues in Cameroon to a deteriorating political environment.
