This result represents a realization rate of 100.3%. Compared to January 2024, the DGD experienced a significant improvement, with an increase of over 21 billion FCFA. According to the General Directorate of Customs DGD, this represents an increase of 21.44 billion FCFA in absolute value and 29% in relative value. "n year-on-year terms, we note an increase of 21.44 billion FCFA in absolute value and 29% in relative value," the DGD rejoices in its newsletter published on February 13.2025.Although the General Directorate of Customs (DGD) had a good start to the year, the Littoral I customs sector, the main contributor to the country's customs revenue, failed to meet its collection target for January 2025.The sector, which houses the Port of Douala, had a target of generating 59.202 billion FCFA for January, but ultimately achieved 57.308 billion FCFA, representing a realization rate of 96.80%.The target for February 2025 is set at 55.029 billion FCFA, accounting for 58.5% of the total customs revenue forecast for the month, which stands at 94.024 billion FCFA. However, this amount is lower than the previous month's forecast.The DGD continues to aim for ambitious targets in 2025. After surpassing the 1,000 billion FCFA mark for the first time in 2023, with revenues of 1,019.8 billion FCFA, the customs administration plans to collect 1,144 billion FCFA in 2025. This forecast represents an increase of 88.1 billion FCFA, or a rise of 8.3% compared to the 1,055.9 billion FCFA achieved in 2024. To achieve this goal, the DGD is counting on a monthly average of 95.3 billion FCFA for the year 2025
