Besides South Africa and Nigeria which are the two largest economies of the African continent, Cameroon is among the countries that align most compatriots in the 2014 rankings of "African leaders of tomorrow", published after a survey conducted annually by the Choiseul Institute.

In this ranking, which "identifies these women and men aged 40 and under, who are committed to the path of success and whose ambition is to bring Africa to the highest degree of economic, social and cultural development", according to Pascal Lorot the president of the Choiseul Institute, Cameroon aligns 10 ambassadors, including 5 in the top 100 and five others in an alternative list of 100 other future African leaders.

"Whether they are at the head of large companies, SME’s managers, investors and holders of personal structuring projects, they all share the excellence of their background, influential networks, an extraordinary potential and ability to do so without proportion," says Pascal Lorot.
