This performance is in line with the ranking established by the Technical Commission for the Rehabilitation of Public and Para public Enterprises (CTR) in its 2019 report on the performance of these enterprises. Indeed, out of a sample of 50 state companies (the National Hydrocarbons Company is not included), whose performance was analyzed, CNPS is the first of nine companies that had a positive operating result as of December 31, 2019, and generated dividends.
Despite its good financial health, CNPS is also ranked among the publicly held companies that pose a risk to the state budget, due to high debt. According to figures published by the CTR, as of the end of 2019, the CNPS had over XAF250 billion debt.
