Many emerging countries' economies have relied heavily on exports in recent years. This will help to increase economic growth, employment, and the balance of payments. The government of Cameroon has implemented a number of trade policy measures targeted at boosting the export industry. Despite this, the country's proportion in global exports remains quite low. Given the importance of exports in the economy, an enhanced gravity trade model was used to find the likely factors impacting export flows between Cameroon and its trading partners. The panel dataset utilised in this study spanned the years 1995 to 2014. The findings revealed a positive and statistically significant relationship between Cameroon's GDP, importer's GDP, real exchange rate, population, and official common language.
