Stores and large enterprises have stocked their shelves to meet the demand of the imminent end of year festivities.

In Yaounde, many business owners have started preparations to meet the demands of the celebration of Christmas and the new year.

"The goods we have in stock are what the public will need in this period. For example, we have filled our shelves with toys, clothes, Christmas trees and various decoration items" a Sales Manager explained.

As this period gives rise to varied celebrations, stores also plan to offer a good range of imported foods and liquors of top brands in all their varieties.

Having missed the preparation at the beginning of the month of December because of the delay in clearing goods from Douala port, he doubts if he can fully satisfy his customers. another sales person decried. "We have invested more than 100 million. Looking at the time left, we will not be able to reap the expected benefit", he said regrettably.
