Cameroon’s Industrial Zone Manager Posts CFA175 Million Profit With Low Debt

Cameroon’s state-owned industrial zone manager MAGZI posted a CFA175 million net profit in 2025 while maintaining a relatively low level of debt, giving the company a solid financial base as it manages infrastructure designed to support industrial investment across the country.

The Mission for the Development and Management of Industrial Zones (MAGZI) finalized its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. The accounts show total assets of CFA35.5 billion and equity of CFA22.8 billion, meaning shareholders’ equity covered about 64% of the balance sheet.

That ratio points to a financial structure with relatively limited reliance on debt.

Revenue reached CFA3 billion for the year, while net income stood at CFA175 million. The profit represents a net margin of about 5.7%, a modest level of profitability but one that confirms the public company’s ability to remain profitable despite a challenging financial environment.
